While Mikuni has been primarily a school for learners of English living in Japan, starting this summer we will be holding a study abroad program for US students to study Japanese while living in Japan. The program will give students a chance to live in Kyoto, a former capital of Japan with a rich and lengthy history.
This 12-week program will include Japanese courses administered by Brigham Young University (BYU), but participants do not need to be current BYU students. You can apply through BYU’s Kennedy Center for International Studies here. Students will take Japanese courses in the morning while afternoons and evenings are reserved for study, travel, and exploring Kyoto and other areas of Japan. By taking these BYU Japanese courses, you will earn college credits valid at BYU and transferable to many universities around the US. Check your university to verify transferability, as each university does have its own requirements.
The program is for college students who have studied Japanese at least 4 semesters (equivalent to Japanese 202 at BYU) or have equivalent Japanese skill and experience, such as an LDS mission or another long-term stay in Japan.
