Here's my short intro and question:
I've been self studying japanese for about 6 or so years,, etc. etc.
I just got back from Japan about four months ago, I was there for half a year as an exchange student, and while i was there I took the JLPT Exam level 3 and passed, so as far as fluency im still lacking. I've always planned on majoring in japanese in college and then going on to grad school.
Ideally, i'd like to Major in Japanese and minor in international communications. I'm planning on getting some kind of career working in the America-japan field, one that's preferabley time consuming - something I can work hard at since i've always loved studying japanese and have a nack for it.
I plan on attending a community college this year since I just graduated high school (though my grades are fine about a 3.0 GPA), so next year I plan on attending one of the UC's perhaps. I've heard they have great japanese programs, but can anyone else recommend a school with great japanese programs?
I've been looking into them and they mostly include Hilo University hawaii, the UC's and ohio state, as well as yale and Harvard (errr, impossible to get into). As far as graduate school I plan on attending Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies (アメリカ・カナダ大学連合日本研究センタ), but are there any other renowned grad schools? Or even Colleges? I know well of temple University Japan, but it only offers minor certificates in Japanese.
Basically, if anyone has info on some schools, please share it with me.
I'd also appreciate some input on careers so that I can start steering myself in that direction.

Thanks for your times guys
