Program Description:
The Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Literatures offers an advanced language study abroad opportunity at Kanda University of International Studies (KUIS) in the suburbs of Tokyo. Classes are taught for ten weeks from the middle of June to the middle of August. In addition to classroom instruction and activities with Japanese counterparts, Dartmouth students will experience intense immersion in the language through the homestay program, in which they live with Japanese families. The group takes several trips to areas of cultural and historical interest, including a seven-day excursion to the Kyoto-Nara region.

Dartmouth-at-KUIS offers students three course credits for the summer term: two credits for language classes at the second-year level (Japanese 22 and 23) and one credit for Japanese 11, a topics course taught in Japanese by the Dartmouth professor in residence.
