 The Japan Studies Program is conducted by Tokyo International University. Since its founding in 1965, TIU has emphasized international studies and exchange in order to produce internationally-minded students.Tokyo International University founded the Japan Studies Program (JSP) to meet the growing interest among English speaking university students to study in Japan. The JSP is a one to two-semester study abroad program open to English speaking students in all fields of study from accredited universities and colleges around the world. The program is designed to meet a wide range of student needs in regards to specific majors or academic requirements. In addition to the required Japanese language courses, students are offered Japanese studies elective classes as well as various field trips, excursions, and cultural activities. These, along with homestay, provide students an unparalleled opportunity to learn the Japanese culture and language.  TIU is composed of five schools and has approximately 6,000 students divided between four campuses. The University has two campuses in Kawagoe City (35 min. by train from Tokyo), which are located within 15 minutes walking distance of each other. JSP is located at TIU's Campus 1. From Kawagoe, Tokyo is easily accessible, while also being close to more rural areas. This gives TIU's foreign exchange students the opportunity to explore both the traditional and more modern aspects of Japan. Ever since TIU's founding the University has placed an emphasis on encouraging international exchanges in order to produce more globally-minded students. Starting in 1973, with its sister-school relationship with Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, USA, foreign exchange students have been coming to TIU to study Japanese culture and language.  |
