»Japanese Program

The Center for Global Education at Chapman offers the possibility of studying abroad in Japan on several exchange programs for a semester or academic year.  Some programs offer a wide variety of courses taught in English focusing specifically on Japan and Asia as well as Japanese language courses ranging from beginning through advanced levels.  On other programs, students can take all of their courses in Japanese. Japanese family homestay participation is available and highly encouraged. Please note many of the applications for the Japan programs are accepted once per year during the fall semester for study abroad in the following fall or spring.  Substantial merit scholarships are available to qualified students.  Students contemplating the Personalized Japanese Studies Minor and those actively pursuing it are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester in Japan.  Students who participate in the exchange programs in Japan can transfer their language course credits to Chapman University to assist the completion of their personalized Japanese studies minor.
