Academics
Other Academic Conditions
Students CANNOT return early from Fall semester and must stay through the end of January for exams. For this reason, it may be easiest for US students to study at Chuo either for a Full Year, or in the Spring.
For Japanese-taught coursework, Chuo recommends that students have passed Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level N3. This is required for students enrolling in Science and Engineering Faculty classes, which are located on the Korakuen, an hour away from ISEP student housing on the Tama campus.
For English-taught courses, no Japanese language is required, and no language proof is needed for the application process. However, if the student would like to take Japanese language courses (7 levels from beginner to advanced), students are required to learn Hiragana + Katakana (both writing & reading) in order to register for beginner class. Self-study is acceptable.
Japanese language courses for exchange students are typically offered 2 classes per week in 4 different levels (never studied before, beginner, intermediate, advanced). Academic courses are typically offered for 2 credits per semester, while language courses are typically offered for 1 credit per semester. Please note that students are required to take 6 classes per week as per Japanese visa requirements.
