Academic Program
Beginning Level Participants complete intensive Japanese language courses.
Intermediate/ Advanced Level Participants complete intensive Japanese language courses during the fall semester followed by direct enrollment in university classes.
This is an immersion program. Purdue students will be taking Japanese language classes with other exchange students from all over the world and will be taking subject courses with a mix of exchange and domestic students. Seijo is a small university and does not have many exchange students. Therefore students who participate on this program return home with greatly improved Japanese language skills.
Estimated Program Costs
Students pursuing program participation accept financial responsibility. Purdue will take measures to mitigate financial risks, although will not be liable for loss. Students should carefully note what costs need to be paid to Purdue University or to a co-sponsor or agency, and what costs need to be paid at the overseas study location. This will vary by program.
