Courses at Seigakuin University |
| |
- Seigakuin University has exchange relationships with several international universities and offers a slate of courses each semester that serves their needs. These courses are of three types:
- Courses taught in English and about Japanese history and culture
- Courses taught in simplified Japanese (i.e., using a limited number of Kanji)
- Courses taught in Japanese for regular Japanese Seigakuin students, but that allow international students to turn in papers and exams written in English
|
| |
|
| |
Courses will cover a broad range of topics, including Japanese language, history, culture, and economy. In consultation with the Japan Studies minor advisor, students will select a slate of courses from the Seigakuin schedule during the pre-registration period at LaGrange College. The student will register for several sections of this course:
JAPN 3000: Special Topics in Japanese Studies: [Subtitle Varies According to Course Topic] (variable credit) |
| |
|
| |
In consultation with the LaGrange College Registrar and the Academic Dean, the Japan Studies advisor will establish correct hours earned and will develop course subtitles that best describe the contents of each course. Course credits will be transferred to LaGrange College if the student receives a course grade of C- or higher. |
