For Students Interested in Intensive Japanese Study

The "Japanese Training Program" allows students the opportunity to intensively study Japanese language and culture.

During spring semester _ from April through late July _ students take 10 classes a week (90 minute classes), and during fall semester - from mid-September through early February - students take 11 classes a week (90 minute classes). Students are placed in classes according to their respective proficiency levels, and each class caters to a small number of students. Lessons focus on preparing students for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

For Students Interested in Studying Japanese while Taking Other Academic Classes

Japanese classes are also available for study abroad students who are additionally taking classes in other departments. During both spring semester (April to late July) and fall semester (mid-September to early February), students can take between two to six classes per week (90 minute classes).

Students will take a language proficiency test after arriving in Japan, and the results of this test, together with consultations with Japanese instructors, will be used to determine class placement.
