The Center for International Education(CIE)

The Center for International Education (CIE) is responsible for everything that Seinan Gakuin University (SGU) has to do with the world. CIE regards it as its most important mission to provide students, national or international, with opportunities to learn more about the world, since we believe this to be part of SGU's mission in education and the pursuit of vocation. With these aims in mind, we coordinates the following programs:

1. One year/semester student exchange programs

CIE coordinates one year/semester student exchange programs with 28 partner institutions in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France, Norway, Finland, China, South Korea, and Taiwan. It supports exchange students from those partner universities in studying at SGU(International Division) comfortably and SGU students in studying abroad.

2. Four-Week intensive Japanese language & culture programs

CIE provides a four-week (June-July) intensive Japanese language program for the students from the 28 partner institutions.
