Tsuda College

• Located in Kodaira city; a quiet, residential area in the western region of Tokyo
• Private, four-year women's college
• Relatively few international students, so there are lots of opportunities to become immersed in everday life with Japanese students
  

Academics

• The undergraduate academic calendar starts in early April as is customary in Japan. However, Tsuda College welcomes international students in either spring (April) or fall (September) semester. Non degree-seeking international students may study at AIU for either one or two semesters.
  • Fall semester: Early September to Late January
  • Spring semester:  Early April to Late July
• All undergraduate courses are taught in Japanese.  Students may take courses from the Department of English, the Department of International and Cultural Studies, the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Computer Science. There are also two interdepartmental courses; Multicultural Studies Courses and Media Studies Courses.
• Each semester, the students are expected to take courses in Japanese as a second language (eight hours a week) and classes in Japanese Studies for international exchange students (two hours a week), depending upon their  Japanese ability, knowledge and interest.
