Seinan Gakuin University, Japan Exchange

Spend a full year (fall and then spring semester) or a fall semester studying in Japan through a partnership/exchange between the University of Delaware and Seinan Gakuin University (SGU). One student's name will also be submitted for the prestigious AIEJ (Association for International Education--Japan) scholarship, which provides full airfare, a settling-in allowance and a generous monthly stipend.

At beautiful SGU, located in Fukuoka City, the cultural and economic capital of the south island of Kyushu, students will engage in intensive Japanese language study and the study of other Japan-related subjects in English, and live with other international and Japanese students in dormitories within walking distance of campus. Students will also be able to take advantage of the many student clubs and teams available on campus.

Eligible students must be UD undergraduates who will have completed JAPN 107 by the summer before departure for SGU.

Please note that the Seinan exchange is available for the fall semester or for a full academic year (both fall and spring). A single spring semester option is not available.

A limited number of CFIS Scholarships are available to students on specific exchange programs. Check here for details.

The deadline for applying to study at SGU for the upcoming academic year is November 30th.

If you would like to apply, please submit the following on or before November 30th:

• on-line application form
• two recommendations from UD professors, ONE of which should be from a Japanese language instructor (ask your recommenders to complete this specific on-line recommendation form)
