The other language courses required for the program (fall, winter, and spring) assist students in preparing to work abroad, and will not be waived regardless of the student's level of fluency.

This varies per person. It depends, of course, on your previous knowledge and language learning experience, and importantly the amount of time you spend practicing the language in real-life situations.

Nope. I live in the good ol' state of North Carolina in the United States, and as far as I know, I don't have a drop of Japanese blood in me.
