Objectives

The Kyoto Program is designed for students with intellectual interests in the production, management and politics of advanced economic and technological systems and in exploring aspects of contemporary Japanese society and its cultural underpinnings. For students with technical specialties, the program helps them understand the professional value of developing linguistic proficiency and cultural competencies that facilitate interaction in the Japanese culture while simultaneously complementing their technical abilities.

Students in the social sciences and humanities benefit from the multiple levels of Japanese language offerings, coursework on aspects of Japanese culture and contemporary society, economics and politics, and, like science and technology majors, access to summer internships. The Kyoto Program permits students having limited prior knowledge of Japan the opportunity to explore how a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture can create new dimensions in their academic and professional development.
