Williams Japanese Program- Study Abroad

Students majoring in Japanese or Asian Studies are encouraged to consider study in Japan at some point in their Williams career--during one or both semesters of junior year, during the summer, or over winter study

Williams students have participated in a range of semester- and year-long programs in Japan. Students can participate in one of these pre-approved programs, or they can research and locate another program that fits their needs and apply to the Dean's office to have it approved for study abroad credit.

Some students spend all or part of Winter study in Japan by submitting a proposal for a Winter independent study (WSP 99) that involves travel.

Students have received language credit for summer language courses in Japan or at intensive programs in the U.S.

These pages provides some basic information and a starting point. It is important that students interested in any of these options consult carefully with the department and the Dean's Office starting at an early date, so that they can select a program tailored to their individual needs.
