The JASIN Program is designed for students from Western countries so that the application, orientation, counseling and Japan Studies classes are conducted in English.
The NICS Program is designed for students from Asia so that the above services are conducted in Japanese.
Students are placed in an appropriate level of Japanese language study (Beginning to Advanced) according to a placement test.
