Japan Study
Students study at Waseda University’s International Division in Tokyo after a brief orientation providing intensive language practice and cultural discussions.
Students will enroll in Japanese-language
courses. In addition, they take academic courses taught in English with Japanese and other international students. Most students choose courses on Japan and Asia, but courses in the sciences, math and other disciplines also are available.
Although Japan Study encourages students to enroll in the full-year program, semester options are available for students who cannot spend a year away from their home campus.
A family living experience in Tokyo provides an informal
education in Japanese culture and is in many ways the dominant feature of the program, offering total immersion in the Japanese way of life.
Administered by Earlham College, Japan Study is recognized by both ACM an GLCA.
