Kyoritsu Women’s University, founded in 1886 and thus one of Japan’s oldest educational institutions, began life as a school to provide women, through courses in sewing and other skills, with the means to be self-supportive in an age when this was still exceptional. Over the years we have adapted and changed with the needs of the times until today our system includes junior and senior high schools, a junior college, a four-year university, and a graduate school with students studying liberal arts, fine arts, science, social science, and international studies.

We continue today as one of Japan’s leading educational institutions for women, maintaining our original goal of developing confident, creative, self-reliant women who can take their place in the world of work.

Our International Exchange Office has welcomed students from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Now we have created a new program, Kyoritsu Japanology, for English-speaking students from North America and other areas of the globe. Our faculty, staff, and administrators look forward to welcoming you to Kyoritsu.

During the more than125 years since we were established, Kyoritsu has amassed an impressive collection of fine Japanese crafts, including clothing and items of everyday use, from many historical periods. Students can access the collection as a source of study materials to broaden and enrich their studies.

We at Kyoritsu Women’s University extend a friendly invitation to young women from universities around the world to come to Tokyo to study Japanese language, culture, and society.

Our faculty and staff have put together a special program covering many facets of Japanese culture, both traditional and modern, that will appeal to a wide variety of overseas students.

Intensive language lessons will supplement Japanese lessons begun in the students’ home countries, but since

understanding class lectures in Japanese will still require special back-up, a support network will provide the needed help. Please see page 8 of the brochure for details.

Our campus is located in Tokyo, the dynamic capital city of Japan, where social and cultural events of all sorts will supplement and enhance your academic experience. From here, the hub of the nationwide rail system, dozens of famous sightseeing, sports, and leisure spots are easily accessible as day trips or vacation excursions.

Please join us for a unique study experience.

WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT

Kyoritsu Japanology Details

1. Kyoritsu is a four-year women’s universityin central Tokyo. Our history dates from the 1800s, so we have over 125 years of experience providing progressive education for women.

2. The overseas program is one year (two semesters) in length, from September to July. Depending on courses selected, approximately 30 credits can be earned. Each student should discuss with her own university the possibility of transferring some or all of these credits to her home university. (See page 3 for a table of a sample semester schedule.)

3. At least one year of prior Japanese language study is required, so application from the sophomore year of university is typical, though not mandatory in individual cases. Intensive Japanese language instruction (six 90-minute classes per week) is included in the program.

4. Since lectures are in Japanese, foreign students with insufficient language proficiency will be provided with a Japanese study partner to help with note -taking and comprehension as well as

5. Tuition fees are based on the number of credits being taken. Japanese language classes earn six credits per year. Other classes, meeting once a week, earn two credits per semester and may be one semester or one year in length. For example, the sample semester schedule on page three would earn 13 credits (3 for Japanese and 10 for five other classes). One credit is ¥12,000 (approximately US$155*) so someone taking this schedule of classes would pay ¥156,000(approx. US$2,025*) for that semester.

6. Off-campus housing in Tokyo is very expensive, so foreign students stay in Kyoritsu’s student dormitories if rooms are available, or in other dorms with which the university has a contract. All rooms are private. Dorm life is friendly and safe. Costs are as follows: One-time non-refundable entry fee: ¥120,000 (approx. US$1,558*) One-time refundable deposit: ¥70,000 (approx. US$909*)

7.

advance lecture outlines for prior study. Back-up texts in English will be available for writing the final report (in English) that will replace the Japanese-language final exam.

Monthly rent without meals: ¥63,400 (approx. US$823*) (Dorms have simple kitchens.) Optional meal plan (two meals per day, Monday to Friday; cost per semester): ¥105,000 (approx. US$1363*) One-year total with meals: ¥1,097,400 (approx. US$14,252*) One-year total without meals: ¥887,400 (approx. US$11,525*) * At the time of writing: US$1 = ¥77
