International Liberal Arts and Academic Writing

  • International Liberal Arts

    International Liberal Arts creates the opportunity for interdisciplinary courses which examine questions and issues raised among the various departments at the College of Humanities and Sciences. The number of English-language International Japanese Studies courses focusing on Japanese history, society, literature, culture, and geography has also increased. One of this program’s newly organized courses, Introduction to International Japanese Studies, allows both international and Japanese students to actively participate in and dynamically debate a range of ideas and issues.

  • Academic Writing

    Academic Writing allows students to learn and acquire basic skills for writing academically, both in Japanese and English, in the context of an International Liberal Arts subject in the College or Graduate School. In addition, for graduate level students aiming at obtaining knowledge and skills to be an academic writing tutor or coach, an Academic Writing Tutors course was established. Also, in addition to regular Japanese courses, Business Japanese classes are offered, providing useful expressions for job hunting and actual ‘real world’ business settings.
