The main goals of our faculty and staff are for all students to learn Japanese very well and advance to a higher language level. We not only teach Japanese language, but also teach students to better understand and appreciate cultural differences.

Students will have two or three Japanese language instructors available for each of their language courses. These instructors are available as needed to answer any student language questions and to help with counseling and support.

A Language Program Advisor is available to answer questions related to the language courses and one Head Professor is in charge of the Japanese Culture and Civilization Course.

Two Student Coordinators are available to answer any questions about homestay or dormitory, and about life in Japan. These Student Coordinators are responsible for educational excursions with the culture course and help to arrange additional activities.

All of our supportive staff members take a personal interest in educational growth. If students have any questions, concerns, or items of interest to discuss the faculty and staff are available to make your stay in Japan as rewarding and educational as possible.
