The “Japan in Today’s World” (JTW) program at Kyushu University, one of seven original Imperial Universities, offers Michigan students a diverse and challenging introduction to contemporary Japanese society and culture. The curriculum includes rigorous language training from beginning to advanced levels, as well as pre-determined elective courses taught in English such as: Japanese literature, history, international relations, economics, East Asian relations, and popular culture. Field trips and directed independent study are also important and required components of the program. Individuals with demonstrated linguistic proficiency may enroll in general University courses taught in Japanese.
