I apologize if this is the wrong forum, or if this has all ready been posted (tried searching but didn't find anything), and if it is please direct me to an appropriate thread.

I am looking to get a bachelors degree in Japanese, but I would ideally like to study in Japan. I know their are a lot of programs for Japanese in Japan, but none that I can find offer it as an accredited degree.

If there really aren't any schools like that I was wondering if anyone knew of any good programs, or schools within the USA that offer a study abroad program that will give me an accredited Japanese degree? I would like to start the enrollment process ASAP since I wasted a lot of time since I graduated High School due to my own stupidity (I'm 21 now). My grades in High School were less than stellar (approx 2.5 GPA, 28 ACT), so super high class schools are kinda out of my league. For me, local schools aren't the best option and would much rather have a school where I would be required to dorm. Though, this would be most schools so that isn't to much of a concern.

Online classes and such are in my opinion a poor way to learn a language. In addition I am rather horrible at the motivation and have a hard time learning anything from online courses, so that really isn't an option.

The importance of an accredited degree to me is that I want to have the option to continue my degree at a latter point if that is something I choose to do, as well as qualifying for positions and such that require an accredited degree.

I really do appreciate any suggestions, and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
