Why learn at Sophia University?

Important Notes

Since its foundation in 1961, Sophia University’s three-week Summer Session in Asian Studies has provided students with the opportunity to study abroad in Japan and explore the country’s relation with Asia and the rest of the world. Participants choose two intensive courses from a list including Japanese language, history, art, religion, literature, society, culture, economics, and politics.
In addition to the courses offered, there are a number of field trips and special events included at no extra cost, such as opportunities to view performances of Noh and kabuki, experience a Japanese tea ceremony and ikebana, visit Meiji Shrine, and to attend a wadaiko (Japanese drumming) performance and lesson. Some courses also feature field trips directly related to the course. Occasionally other special events are also offered.
Summer Session in Asian Studies participants take two intensive courses and earn six credits.
