Konan University and a consortium of American universities led
by the University of Illinois has launched a new type of exchange
program. Students from many countries are welcomed to Konan
and join a special program in intensive Japanese language study
and Japanese cultural studies (taught in English). All Students
spend the year as guests in Japanese homes. Agreements have
been made to enable faculty members to study abroad and for
foreign professors to come to Konan to pursue their research.
Konan presently has exchange agreements with twelve universities
in eight countries, expanding the program in a multitude of
ways. The main force behind the support for its activities and
promotion is the Center for International Exchange. The Center
includes the comfortable Ajisai (Hydrangea) Room, where international
and Japanese students can meet and relax together.
