Study in Japan

The Program

Mukogawa Women's University (MWU)

Mukogawa Women's University (MWU) located in Nishinomiya, Japan will host its thirteenth intensive Japanese Culture Studies Program for American college and university women students.

MWU invites eighteen female full-time undergraduate or graduate students to participate in this intensive three-week program. Students must be committed to learning Japanese language and culture, and be willing to participate fully in the program curriculum. Study in Japan 2008 is best suited for students for whom this is their first experience in Japan.

To fully immerse students in Japanese language and culture, participants will not only take language and culture classes, but enjoy exciting field trips and a homestay with a Japanese host family. Through the Study in Japan Program, students are given the rare opportunity to experience daily facets of Japanese life, while working on their course of studies.

Student Selection

A successful overseas study program requires all of the same skills and attitudes needed to do well in any academic class or meaningful job - only under different, sometimes challenging, circumstances.

Living and studying in Japan is exciting! However, everyone experiences “culture shock” to some degree. The first few days may be challenging as participants deal with jet lag, cultural and language fatigue, cultural differences, attitudes, life styles, food, teaching differences, and a sense of urgency to see and do it all! Each participant must accept these conditions and deal with them positively to gain the greatest benefit from this study abroad program.
