Japan Studies Program Activities
Research Opportunities
The Japan Studies Program offers the opportunity to work personally, in small-group settings, with experienced scholars and practitioners. One highlight traditionally has been for students to undertake travel-study and publish their findings in a U.S.-Japan yearbook unique in its field, with a quarter-century tradition. The volume is circulated, in both English and Japanese, to the U.S. Congress and the Japanese Diet and to think tanks, universities and experts on U.S.-Japan relations in both nations.
Co-curricular Activities
Japan Studies offers field trips every fall and spring term. Destinations include U.S.-Japan related government, business and mass media offices in Washington, D.C., and meetings with distinguished alumni.
Other Opportunities
Japan Studies provides at least some fellowship support to all its concentrators.
