Why learn at Sophia University?

Important Notes

Academic Information

1. Transfer of credits earned before entering as a freshman (Nyûgakumae tani nintei):
Students who have earned credits at another university before entering as a freshman may transfer up to 30 credits. Application for transfer of credits should be made within three months of entering Sophia University. Students using this system may transfer credits, but not residency time. However, students who meet all other qualifications may apply for early graduation.

2. Early Graduation
To qualify for early graduation a student must complete at least three years (six semesters) of study, complete all credits required for graduation, and have a cumulative GPA of 3.65 or above.
The Faculty Meeting will review and decide upon applications for early graduation.
