Study In Japan

Study in Japan:
We recommend that students study abroad for a semester or year at a Japanese University. Increasingly students are opting to stay for one year as they realize the benefits to their language ability. Gettysburg College is affiliated with Kansai Gaidai University, located in Hirakata City, between the business and industrial center of Osaka and the ancient capital of Kyoto. Kansai Gaidai offers instruction in Japanese language and a full range of courses on Japanese topics in English. The program at Kansai Gaidai provides many opportunities for students outside the classroom: living with a Japanese host family, field trips to cultural and historical sites, study of traditional arts, and visits to Japanese businesses. Students may also choose to attend other universities in Japan. Credit for courses taken at Kansai Gaidai may be transferred and counted towards the electives for the major and minor with departmental approval.

Our Off Campus Studies Office link below has wonderful information about Kansai Gaidai.
