The BA in Chinese Literature at Nishogakusha University (part of the Faculty of Literature, now organized within the Department of Global Japanese and Chinese Studies after recent curriculum updates) is an undergraduate program that offers in-depth study of Chinese language, classical and modern Chinese literary works, and East Asian thought while exploring their historical influence on Japanese culture. Students engage with Chinese literature, philosophy, and linguistic traditions through close reading, interpretation, and analysis of texts, including kanbun (classical Chinese as read in Japan), to develop strong critical thinking, language proficiency, and cultural insight. The program emphasizes both literary and intellectual traditions of China and Japan in a global context, fostering well-rounded skills in expression, research, and cross-cultural understanding that prepare graduates for careers in education, translation, research, international business, and other fields requiring deep linguistic and cultural competence. The curriculum reflects Nishogakusha’s long heritage in Chinese and East Asian studies, rooted in classical scholarship and adapted for contemporary academic and global engagement.
