Most students also complete the International Studies Diploma which certifies competencies required by the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. The International Studies Department has developed this general education core by articulating the comparative, intercultural and international dimension of each discipline with the aim of providing general education in the global, international and intercultural context. The International Studies Curriculum also offers a sufficiently broad range of course work that will supplement and enrich the home campus curricula of international students from Minnesota State Colleges and Universities. In addition, we have instituted an intensive summer language program for professionals employed in Japan.
International students share a residential facility with Japanese students.
