Students may enroll at International Christian University, Mitaka, Tokyo, where they live and take meals and classes with Japanese students. Full academic credit is available through the wide selection of courses taught in English at the university, though participants are also expected to study Japanese. A year of language preparation is encouraged. The Year in Japan is designed to augment Guilford's Intercultural Studies concentration. The basic cost of this program is expected to remain about the same as a full year at Guilford plus airfare.
Most disciplines have courses taught in English.
