CET Japan

CET Japan


CET Japan offers a unique opportunity for students eager to immerse themselves fully in the local language, culture, and people. Tailor your experience by choosing how much Japanese you want to learn. You can also add electives that fit your interests—try studio arts or direct-enroll at our local host university! Group excursions take you off the tourist map, like a day trip to Toei Kyoto Studio Park or an overnight trip to Tokushima. 

Dive into learning and experiencing Japan.

  • Flexible Japanese language curriculum (choose 6 credits or 12 credits—you'll cover the entire textbook in one semester if you choose 12 credits!) 
  • Unique studio art elective opportunities like Manga Creation or Character Design 
  • Enjoy the privacy of a single room in apartments shared with CET peers and local roommates 
  • No language prerequisite for the fall and spring (Summer pre-req: at least 2 semesters of previous Japanese language study)
