The Japanese Language Program

Seijo University has a small yet intensive and rewarding Japanese language program for exchange students. Japanese language courses are divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Exchange students are placed into appropriate levels according to their placement test results. Currently, there are no classes for absolute beginners, and all classes are conducted in Japanese.
