For the summer of 2001, the program will be team-taught by five faculty members from top American universities and several Japanese teachers from Kanazawa.
Students meet for three hours each morning, five days a week.
To ensure effective interaction between instructor and student, class size is kept to between 8 and 10 students. Ten Good Reasons to Apply All participants are eligible to receive one year of credit and official transcripts from Princeton University. PII students have a good chance to be nominated for fully-funded internships the following summer. Experienced instructors provide excellent teaching in small clases.
