Kenyon College. 3.0 GPA.
Full year (October to July) or one semester (April to July)
Kenyon's new exchange program in Japan allows students to study for either one semester (preferably Kenyon's spring semester) or a full year at Kyushu University. One of Japan's seven original imperial universities, Kyushu is now a national university and a leading institution of higher education. This program enables highly motivated students to pursue their academic interests while gaining a deeper understanding of issues relating to modern Japan in a global context. The program is multidisciplinary in nature, and although core courses are conducted primarily in English, students with adequate language skills can pursue advanced seminars with Japanese texts. Students are also required to pursue an independent study project; there is a great deal of flexibility in choosing projects. The program is also open to Kyushu University's Japanese students. Courses, taught by Kyushu faculty, include archaeology, anthropology, history, international studies, economics and management, soil and water environment, energy conservation, science, biotechnology, comparative literature, Japanese society, and political science. Field studies are an integral part of the program and include trips to traditional Japanese temples or a nuclear power station.
Students are housed in single rooms in the university's International House. Home visits and home stays with Japanese families are available. Short-term internships can also be arranged with local companies. Kyushu is a land of mountains, hot springs, and historic treasures, and, given its proximity to Korea and China, it offers students a great opportunity to deepen their understanding of a fascinating part of Asia. Students receive either a full year of credit (4 Kenyon units) or one semester of credit (2 units).
Note: Students who enroll in Kyushu and remain in Japan for a year or for a minimum of six months can be recommended for a scholarship which includes (a) a monthly allowance, (b) an arrival allowance, and (c) a return air ticket.)
Nagoya, Japanese Studies at Nanzan University
IES. 3.0 GPA.
Fall, spring, or year, but spaces for fall-only applicants are limited and therefore very competitive.
Previous Japanese language study is not required for year students, although it is encouraged. Semester-only applicants must have completed at least one year of Japanese. IES students join about ninety other students from seventeen countries at the Center for Japanese Studies and have access to other university facilities. All students are required to take an intensive language course and may choose their other courses from a wide range taught in English. Students are housed in Japanese homes, independent residence halls, or apartments.
Rikkyo University Exchange Program
Spring (April-July); year (September-February, April-July).
The Rikkyo Exchange Students Program (RESP) allows "special international students" to take courses taught in both Japanese (for students with a high level of proficiency) and English. The Japanese Studies in English program offers courses in history, literature, political science, and women's studies. Students are required to take Japanese language, offered at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels. It is also possible to take a directed independent study. Because Kenyon is an exchange partner, Kenyon students can apply for one of several available scholarships; additionally, the tuition fee is waived. See the full description of the available scholarships and the application deadlines in the Rikkyo University program box.
