JCMU is a unique consortium of fifteen State of Michigan universities that allows students to spend a summer, a quarter, or an academic year at the Center in Hikone, Japan. Our students study Japanese language and culture intensively and may take such elective courses as Japanese business, history, religion, etc. No prior knowledge of Japanese is required, and scholarships are available.
Financial aid does apply to most international study programs.
