General
Q. I want to study at Seinan Gakuin University (SGU). What are my options? |
■ International Division (Program for one or two semester(s)) |
Q. I want to study Japanese. Which program is the best option for me? |
One of the key aspects of the International Division is it has a beginning Japanese class intended for those who have never studied the Japanese language before. As a result, proficiency in Japanese is not required for admission. Unlike programs established by International Divisions at other Japanese universities, our program is not a preparatory course for students who intend to enroll in the SGU undergraduate or graduate programs.
