Japan-America Student Conference
Summer Intensive and not a language program
Each summer, nearly 80 students from universities across Japan and the U.S. convene to discuss the hottest topics facing the two nations. The program alternates host countries each year, giving students the rare opportunity to travel abroad or through their home countries while learning about their culture through the eyes of others.

Students in the College of Education and Human Services (COEHS) who plan to teach a foreign language after graduation need to meet the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) requirement.
