Yeah, the University of Richmond does...majorly expensive (and was my first choice). Too bad they didn't have anything for a "working adult" outside of the long drawn out, one class per semester per week for like five hours or so on a Saturday or late Friday evening. I've tried that before, and it didn't work well. I have a difficult time retaining anything when being lectured to for like four hours a day once a week.

The Community College I went to years ago never had Japanese as a language to offer or the culture, and yet, they had stuff like Hebrew and Arabic. Even though they never had anything remotely Japanese there, I do remember seeing, one time, on the bulletin board someone put up a flyer for a Japanese exchange program.

Either way, I guess I could talk to someone at UoR.

Well, I'm a criminal justice major who is applying for a master's in CJ administration. I'm planning on working with a federal law enforcement agency or running for office afterwards. So, I'm going in a completely different direction. Plus, I've already worked as a receptionist, youth counselor, etc. in Japan. I'm not particularly interested in working in Japan, but I have the option if I want.
Ahh, I understand. Good luck to you getting into it fully.
