An educational environment where diverse cultures live together
TUJ, the Japan campus of a U.S. university, is on the same premises. There are many opportunities to interact with international students from many countries and regions.
International exchange on campus
Collaborative project with TUJ+BST
Since the campus is on the same site, SWU, TUJ, and BST students are actively interacting with each other. For example, in addition to events such as the "Japanese Salon" and "English Salon," faculties and staff from both universities collaborate to hold forums to think about education in Japan and the United States.
Taking TUJ classes in parallel
Credit Transfer Program (Long-term Study Abroad/Credited Auditors.)
We have a program that allows students to take regular classes at TUJ as a TUJ student for one semester, or take regular classes at TUJ in parallel with classes at our university. Students are working hard to improve their English skills so that they can take regular classes.
S-GLAP has started!
S-GLAP has been introduced since 2022 to develop global human resources throughout the university. The target is students whose department do not include study abroad in the curriculum. It aims to acquire the skills required in the global society through the four-year coursework and participation in designated programs. Students who meet the requirements will be awarded a certificate of completion.S-GLAP: Showa Global Liberal Arts Program
