The Japan-Asian Studies Program is an educational undertaking that represents  a newly comprehensive approach to Asia, including Japan, that transcends departments and fields. It can be participated in and completed by all graduate students interested in it as a supplement to the specific educational curriculum of whatever graduate school or faculty department they belong to.

The program can be broadly divided into general and language-related subjects. The general subjects form the core of the program, and offer a deeper understanding of Asia, including Japan, by way of an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental curriculum. Classes held by each graduate school and faculty as part of its standard curriculum come under the program, which comprises Liberal Arts and Sciences, Society and Culture, Social Technology, Natural Environment, Health Sciences, Information Sciences, and Advanced Studies. Furthermore, when it comes to language-related disciplines, students who wish to do so are encouraged to take the Asian foreign language courses offered in the Undergraduate course senior division (third and fourth year) curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences and Faculty of Letters.

In the case of a total of 12 or more credits having been gained from general theory-related disciplines only or from language-related disciplines and general theory-related disciplines, and with the completion of graduate program, recognition will be given of Japan-Asian Studies program completion, and a certificate of completion will be issued. However, no more than four credits may be gained from language-related disciplines for the purposes of satisfying completion requirements.

All students who wish to receive the Certificate of Completion are required to register at the following URL. The Managing Committee or the network office will hereafter provide you with necessary information.
