Outside the Classroom

 The Japanese division has several events that occur outside of the classroom in which students can partake. Check out the Japanese Student Association and Japanese Honor Society, as well as our Japanese rap video!

Baylor Japanese Student Association

Baylor Japanese Student Association (JSA) is founded with the purpose of spreading the wonder and joys of Japanese culture. Students interested in Japan will find many opportunities to learn about and experience its culture through various events and activities hosted by JSA on and off campus.
