Japan

Off-campus study is an opportunity open to sophomore, junior and senior students with appropriate academic preparation, motivation, and interest in the relevant area.  Students in all major fields may participate in off-campus programs:  some programs have distinctive curricular strengths, but all are designed to enable students with a variety of interests to benefit from the experience of living and studying in a different cultural setting.

If you are interested in learning more about the Japan Program please feel free to contact Dr. Yoko Chiba (ICU or Nanzan) or Dr. Mark MacWilliams (Kansai Gaidai) who serve as the on-campus, program faculty coordinators.  

 

Since 1983 St. Lawrence University has offered students the opportunity to study at Nanzan University.  We are excited to announce a NEW exchange program with Kansai Gaidai University!  For more information please click on the links for the Japanese universities:

• Qualified sophomores and juniors who have taken or are currently taking Japanese 101-102 (offered at St. Lawrence) or its equivalent
• Priority goes to students who want to study for the year and/or who have taken or are taking Japanese 103-104 (second-year Japanese).
