Take a virtual tour of Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts (DWCLA), our exchange partner in Kyoto, Japan.
DWCLA is a women’s college that offers a Japanese Studies Program (JSP) each fall from September to December. The JSP program is very small, as a maximum of ten students worldwide can participate each year. Students participate in small classes with many hands-on learning experiences including field trips to other Japanese cities and club visits. Students are expected to take four culture courses and four Japanese language courses each week. Previously offered culture courses include:
- Anime/pop culture
- Zen tea culture
- Nature in Japan
- Kyoto history and culture
- Intercultural skills for living in Japan.
*As this is a Japanese studies program, applicants are required to have one year of previous Japanese language study. A 3.0 GPA is preferred.
