Courses for Exchange/Visiting Students
The International Center offers Japanese Studies courses to provide exchange/visiting students with the opportunity to delve into the Japanese language and culture. Some classes (Intermediate Japanese 1B, Intermediate Japanese 2D) organize field trips to enable them to experience Japanese culture at first hand. Exchange/visiting students who have demonstrated proficiency in the Japanese language may choose to take one course or two.
