It was the first liberal arts college in Japan and its academic offerings include Japanese language and literature, history, art history, psychology, linguistics, and international studies, among others. On-campus housing with Japanese roommates provides a personal view of Japanese culture and allows students to meet their Japanese peers through all student-run extracurricular activities and clubs.
Courses at ICU are taught in either Japanese (J), English (E), Japanese with some English (J/E), or English with some Japanese (E/J). In accordance with the spirit of the Language Pledge, students at the School in Japan may take only J or J/E courses.
All students are required to take Japanese language classes during the fall and mixture of language and content courses during the winter and spring trimesters.
Students who have finished their third year of Japanese prior to attending the School in Japan may take Advanced Japanese 1 plus two electives in the fall, Advanced Japanese 2 and two electives during the winter, and all elective classes during the spring semester. These students will be able to take courses taught entirely in Japanese by the spring, and in some cases by the winter trimester. Less
