To complete the certificate, during the spring semester of their senior year or after completing JPN 255 and JPN 231 or JPN 291, students must complete an ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), conducted by a designated and certified faculty member in the Japanese program. The expectation is that students’ oral proficiency reach the level of Intermediate-Mid or higher. For more information on the process to obtain the certificate, consult the language faculty of the Japanese program.
