Study Abroad
As might be expected, study abroad is a big part of the Macalester College Asian Language and Cultures experience. All students who major in either Asian Studies or Japanese Languages and Cultures are required to spend at least one semester abroad. Many will spend a whole year.
Japan
Because of the long history of Japanese at Macalester, there are several ways for Macalester students to study abroad in Japan. Many Macalester students going to Japan study at Waseda University, one of the leading private universities in Tokyo. Find out more about ACM Japan Study program at Waseda.
Additionally, Macalester students also regularly study at several other programs in Japan, including:
- The Sophia University program, organized by the Council for International Educational Exchange offers the fascination of Tokyo in either a semester or year long program.
- A program at Nanzan University in Nagoya, in central Japan offers a smaller, more manageable alternative to Tokyo, and intensive language instruction.
Study in Japan is expensive. For information about financial assistance, go to our scholarships and fellowships for study in Japan page.
Living in the JAPAN HOUSE can be good preparation for studying abroad or for maintaining language facility after returning from Japan. Click on the link to learn more about this unique student residence.
China
