Sophia University, Summer School of Asian Studies
The Summer Session, started in 1951, is the oldest and most extensive summer program in Japan. Students of the Faculty of Liberal Arts attend the session, but the majority of participants come from abroad. Offering a highly accessible way for short-term study in Japan, roughly 10,000 students from around the world have attended the Session over the years. Many have gone on to pursue careers related to Japan. In addition to courses, there are numerous field trips to attend Noh, Kabuki, and other performing arts; the tea ceremony; Meiji Shrine, the Edo-Tokyo Museum, and other sites.
The Summer Session also welcomes participation by secondary and college instructors for professional and curriculum development. Over the years, hundreds of high school and college teachers have acquired the expertise to introduce the study of Japan and Asia into the curriculum at their home institutions. High school students who study in the session can receive advanced placement credits while students who are currently enrolled in the Faculty can apply credits towards graduation.
Running from roughly July 20 until August 20 each year, the courses use the Faculty's library, classroom, and computer facilities. The instructors are from the Faculty as well as visiting professors from North America and Europe summering in Japan. Daily class meetings, supplemented with field trips, ensure that the educational experience of a summer session course is equivalent to a regular semester length course.
The Summer Session offers students the opportunity to take two upper-level intensive courses (6 credits) running from roughly July 20 to August 20.
