Study in Japan - Japanese Language & Culture (in Japanese) - ISEP Exchange
The Ceter for Japanese Studies Program offers a combination of two components: The first is an intensive language component designed for students who are serious about studying Japanese. The second encompasses a broad spectrum of courses in Japanese area studies, perfect for students interested in learning about Japan. Outside of class, students can enjoy daytrip excursions to Toyota Motors or relax on campus in the Japan Plaza with their new Japanese friends.
What do ISEP students think about their programs in Japan?
"The Japanese program here is excellent and Nagoya is so unique. The courses are fantastic and I'm able to study things that are both relevant to my career and that I enjoy." -ISEP Nanzan Alumni
Course Description
Nanzan's CJS program offers intensive Japanese language courses, plus English and Japanese-taught electives. Students will take a proficiency test once they arrive to establish their Japanese language ability for both Japanese language courses, and Japanese-taught subject courses.
Intensive Japanese courses are taught in the mornings four days per week, while elective classes are taught in the afternoons on one or two days per week.
For a breakdown of the classes offered, please see the CJS website.
Credits Earned
Students are required to register for an Intensive Japanese course for 8 Nanzan credits per term, and can register for additional elective courses at 2-3 Nanzan credits per course.
ISEP recommends that the US equivalent for a 2-credit lecture class is 2 US credits, and a 2 credit language class is worth 2 US credits. So 14-16 Nanzan credits is the equivalent of 14-16 US credits.
