The Japanese Studies Program, Doshisha Women's College, Kyoto, Japan. The sister school relationship was established in the mid-1990's.
Students also take part in field trips and homestays with Japanese families.
The Japanese Studies Program is not only an opportunity to be submerged in a different culture, but because of its exchange agreement with my school, it enabled me to transfer all the academic credits I earned toward my Chatham degree. The courses inter-related and overlapped into daily Japanese living. Through my homestay, I did not only study Japanese culture and lifestyles, I experienced it everyday and gave me a lesson I will apply throughout my life. Application materials are available in early Spring. Deadline for application materials falls in the April prior to the Fall term program.
