The best way to gain fluency in Japanese, to understand the culture, to experience a different lifestyle and to make Japanese friends is to STUDY ABROAD.
Why don’t you participate in the program and encounter its unique culture?
Over 100 students’ dreams have come true; over one half of these students received scholarships, and all have enjoyed their stay in Japan.
Next is YOUR turn!!!
We prefer that you study Japanese at UNCC at least three semesters before you go, i.e., JAPN 1201, 1202, and 2201.
