Opening doors to non-Western culture<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Earlham runs two study abroad programs in Japan: 1) Japan Study<\/a>: a full year or a semester in the fall or the spring, taking classes at Waseda University in Tokyo<\/a> and 2) the SICE (Studies in Cross-Cultural Education) Program: a fall semester in Morioka where you will take courses at Iwate University<\/a> and also help teach English at a local junior high school.<\/p>\n

Because of relationships cultivated through thoughtful and practical engagement with Japanese culture and society, you will be well prepared for employment in English-teaching programs in Japan.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t
