The Osaka/Kobe program allows students to concentrate on Japan and its language, culture and society, or broaden their East Asia focus through additional study of the language and society of China or Korea. The program aims to promote a better understanding of the cultural, religious, social, economic and political aspects of Japan and its neighbors. Classes are small, the homestay program is well established, and a variety of activities both on and off campus are readily available. You may choose to stay for a semester or a full year.
Japan is a fascinating country rich in culture, history and a diverse environment; the combination of which produces one of the most distinctive societies in the world. The Kwansei Gakuin University Japan and East Asia Studies Program (JEASP) is designed to explore this fascinating country within the larger context of East Asia. USAC students attending this program have the unique opportunity to study and live in a culturally rich city. The Osaka/Kobe program is administered in the U.S. by USAC and in Osaka/Kobe, Japan, by Kwansei Gakuin University International Programs staff, who will assist you with your orientation, housing and registration for courses.
