 Japan Studies at Coastal is growing fast. Many Coastal students have taken advantage oftheinstitutional agreement held between Nagoya University of Foreign Studies and Coastal Carolina University.
Nagoya is about an hour’s train ride from Kyoto
and sits at the heart of Japan's business, industrial,
and transportation sectors. The NUFS campus is situated
in the suburb of Nisshin, a small suburb about a 45
minute bus ride from Nagoya Station.
There are two programs
available to CCU students wishing to study at NUFS.
The Japanese Language and Japanese Studies Program (JLJSP)
provides the students with high-quality Japanese language
and cultural instruction with the intent of equipping
them with the skills and motivation necessary to pursue
a career relating to Japan. The main focus is on the
mastery of the Japanese language. JLJSP students will
take 15 credits of intensive Japanese each semesteralong with three elective credits in history, culture,
business internship, or literature.
 The Contemporary
Japan Program in Nagoya (CJPN) has been developed to
accommodate students who are interested in pursuing
in-depth study of contemporary Japan , but may not be
ready for the intensive level of language study required
by the JLJSP Program. The CJPN is shaped by two unique
concepts. The first is that the focus of the program
extends beyond the overall aspects of contemporary Japan
and explores the specific features of the Chubu Region,
one of the most economically vibrant areas in Japan.
In fact the headquarters of several world-famous companies
are based in the region, including that of the Toyota
Motor Corporation. The second is that many of the subjects
offered in this program (including the Internship Program)
are of a practical nature and have been designed to
facilitate the students' career development. The courses,
mostly taught in English, include a wide range of subjects
as indicated below.
