This semester- or year-long program is based at Sophia University. Since its foundation in 1913, Sophia University has been preparing generations of students to play an active role in Japanese society and in the world. One of the most vibrant cities in the world, Sophia University is based in Tokyo, which has approximately 12 million residents and is the capital of Japan. This modern metropolis is known for its fusion of fast paced action and Zen calm. Visiting students will quickly become immersed in the diverse and colorful Tokyo culture, meditating at ancient shrines and temples or catching a baseball game at the Korakuen Dome.
Sophia's tradition of academic excellence has its roots in the Jesuit educational ideal of placing importance on each individual student and caring for and thinking about the needs of others in a humanistic way. Sophia offers two programs with courses taught in English: the undergraduate program in liberal arts and summer session program. All other program courses are instructed in Japanese. Students should remember that, since this is an exchange program, they will need to apply both through LMU and the host institution abroad.
