4. AboutTempleUniversity,JapanCampus
100%Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) is the oldest and largest foreign university
in Japan. Founded in 1982, TUJ is the first institution to be officially recognized
as a Foreign University, Japan Campus by Japan's Ministry of Education. It
remains the only university in Japan to offer comprehensive programs in English
for degree and non-degree students, and where students can earn American
bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees without leaving Japan.
1 AN AMERICAN EDUCATION
TUJ is an international campus of one of the United States' largest research universities, Temple University in
Philadelphia. Like Main Campus, TUJ is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, one of
the six regional accrediting bodies for higher education in the United States. Students at the Japan campus receive
the same credits, degrees and transcripts as students at Main Campus. All classes at TUJ are taught in English and no
Japanese proficiency is required to start.
3 AFFORDABLE EDUCATION
Average annual tuition and fees at TUJ are
around 30% less than costs for an out-of-state
student at a public American university, and
around 47% less than at a private American
college or university.
2 STUDYING IN JAPAN
TUJ offers the unique opportunity to receive an American university education in Tokyo. Japan is among the
world's most influential economies and is a gateway to Asia. TUJ students study towards their college degree
in English while immersing themselves in the culture, language and history of Japan outside the classroom.
4 STUDENT CENTERED
Small classes of around 20 students each encourage student participation and allow faculty to provide
individualized attention. Internships and independent research provide plenty of hands-on experience. Outside
of class, students enjoy the best of Tokyo and Japan through excursions, workshops, campus events and student
club activities. On-campus facilities include computer labs, an academic advising center, library, counseling office,
editing room and tutoring center.
5 INTERNATIONAL CAMPUS
Students from around the world come to TUJ for its unique mix of academic rigor,
central Tokyo location and Japanese cultural immersion. Approximately 50 nationalities
are represented in the student body. In addition to Japan and the United States, TUJ
has students from Australia, Brazil, Taiwan, Canada, China, Russia, Germany, Kuwait,
Sweden, Spain, South Korea, and many other countries. TUJ is able to sponsor Japanese
student visas for its international students.
6 CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Students graduate from TUJ with the linguistic, analytical and communication skills necessary to succeed in the global
marketplace. About 5,000 TUJ students have gone on to careers with many of the world's leading corporations,
non-profits and governments, as well as to start their own businesses. The Career Development Office is available to
assist students with internships and career counseling throughout their time at TUJ and beyond.

6. AmericanEducationalSystem
As an American university, TUJ offers flexibility in enrollment, transferability of credits,
and focused majors built upon a liberal arts foundation.
TUJ's academic year is divided into fall, spring and summer
semesters, with short breaks in between. Many students
attend fall and spring semesters and take summer semester
off. International students on a TUJ-sponsored student visa
must register for classes during the summer if they wish to
remain in Japan. New students can apply for admission for
any semester. An undergraduate degree is typically completed
in eight semesters of full-time study. A large American-style
commencement is held every June.
A bachelor's degree is awarded upon the successful completion
of the General Education (GenEd) curriculum, courses required
for the major, and electives. The first two years of a bachelor's
degree program is typically spent fulfilling GenEd, consisting of
11 courses in nine areas. GenEd allows students to explore various
areas of study before declaring a major, typically at the end of
their sophomore year. Internships and independent research
projects are typical in a student's junior or senior year.
Students currently enrolled at another 4-year university wishing to spend a
semester or academic year abroad at TUJ are welcome to apply. Students
currently attending U.S. universities may apply through Temple University’s
Education Abroad and Overseas Campuses Office in Philadelphia. Students
enrolled at non-U.S. schools may apply directly to TUJ as non-degree students.
These students earn Temple University credits which may be transferable
towards a degree at their home institution.

Major areas easily accessed from TUJ’s closest stations
TUJ is in the heart of central Tokyo. Within easy reach of campus are business,
embassy and entertainment districts where students experience
both the energy of contemporary Tokyo and the refinement of traditional Japan.
In Tokyo, neighborhoods that have remained relatively unchanged
for decades co-exist with 21st century architectural marvels.
TUJ is located in the Minami-Azabu area of
Tokyo’s Minato Ward. The area is a center for
major embassies and businesses, and is one of
the more upscale residential neighborhoods in
Tokyo with a large international population.
Students not yet confident in their Japanese
skills will find the area easy to adjust to.
Tokyo’s public transportation system is among
the most extensive and efficient in the world. It
is a pedestrian-friendly city with little need for a
car. From TUJ it is a short walk to six major train
lines that connect students to the rest of Tokyo
and neighboring cities.

International Business Studies
(Major / Minor in General Business Studies)
International Business Studies was developed in response to the contemporary global need for personnel with the knowledge
and skills to work in the international arena. The curriculum encompasses a general knowledge of cultures, economies and
societies, the business knowledge required to succeed in a variety of careers, and the language abilities to work across borders.
The program aims to equip graduates with the skills for effective and efficient operations in a multilingual and multicultural
business environment.
William J. Swinton
Director of International Business Studies Program
Advisor and Coordinator of the International Business Studies major
TUJ offers a truly international experience — inside and outside the classroom, as well as among
students and faculty. This will prepare you for a challenging career anywhere in the world.
The innovative International Business Studies program challenges students to integrate language
studies, an understanding of world affairs and hands-on internship experience. Students will
develop the global mindset that multinational institutions need in the 21st century.
TUJ students learn how to work with people of similar backgrounds and with those who are
often quite different in how they approach life and their studies. We train our students not
only to be multilingual but also to navigate across cultures and borders. Our program teaches
them to think critically, form a well-reasoned opinion, and then capably express that opinion.
This is accomplished through class participation, visits to local businesses, and by bringing savvy
international professionals into the classroom. With those tools, our graduates move confidently
into the world and launch productive, interesting and viable global careers.
Tokyo is one of the world’s most vibrant cities, and living here represents the chance to pursue
an expanded range of career opportunities. Located in the heart of Tokyo’s diplomatic and
international business community, TUJ consistently takes advantage of the city’s diversity and
multinational character.

At the end of my high school life I discovered TUJ. The programs seemed to be fairly well
developed, along with a lot of support to help ease the transition. Furthermore, spending my
university life in Tokyo would present me with unimaginable opportunities. When I came to
TUJ, the administration was very helpful. A lot of the students were also friendly, which kept
me from becoming lonely or developing severe culture shock. I chose International Business
Studies as my major for two reasons – business has long been an interest of mine, and in
Tokyo I would have hands-on experience with international business. The biggest skill I
have gained is how to act professionally. I interned at the British Chamber of Commerce
in Japan. The most important thing I learned was how to plan and execute a project with
well-defined goals. After TUJ I plan on finding a job at a Japanese manufacturing company
as I feel like my international skills would be best put to use in being a part of a traditional
Japanese company that is seeking to either globalize or expand into overseas markets.

International Affairs
(Major)
International Affairs is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary subject which covers political science, geography, economics
and history. It explores international cooperation and conflict, poverty and development, the nature and causes of war,
nationalism and social change, and other issues. Focusing especially upon Japan and its place in Asia and the world, it requires
students to study regions besides East Asia and the United States. Students must undertake an internship and study an East
Asian language.
Undergraduate Majors and MinorsUndergraduate Majors and Minors
Matthew Linley
Teacher of the year 2013
Director of Research and Assistant Professor of
International Relations
Advisor and Coordinator of the International Affairs major
On one level, international affairs is the study of relations between states, but it is also about the
relations between cultures. While rooted in political science, international affairs encompasses
the study of history, geography and society as a means of understanding the complexity of the
world we live in. TUJ’s diverse and international student body brings different experiences and
information from various cultures into the classroom. This spurs wide-ranging and extremely
valuable discussions.
Another wonderful thing about TUJ as a place to study international affairs is our access to
practitioners. We’re located in a part of Tokyo that is home to most of the major embassies, so we
can easily visit these embassies, and also persuade embassy staff to come talk to us. In addition,
we have good relations with various think tanks and members of the government and the
bureaucracy. I believe our ability to interact with practitioners and nongovernmental organizations
is probably unrivaled anywhere else in Asia.
Studying at TUJ is interesting and compelling, but it’s also demanding and challenging. TUJ will
give you an educational experience you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

At the end of my sophomore year I decided on International Affairs as my major but
Temple Main Campus did not have it. Fortunately, TUJ did, so here I am. Coming to Tokyo
was scary and exciting. TUJ is a lot smaller than Main Campus so it is easier to get to know
people and find your way around. Also, people at TUJ are friendly and eager to help. I like
the class sizes as well. It allows for easier discussions between students and the professor.
For my internship, I worked in Public Relations at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of
Afghanistan. I collected stories about Afghanistan for the embassy’s website as well as
their newsletter. I also helped write speeches and press releases. It was a very rewarding
experience. I learned it takes all staff working together for an embassy to function
smoothly. I also had the opportunity to learn more about Afghanistan – its food, its culture
and the language. After TUJ, I would like to go to graduate school for human rights and
development, or work with an international non-profit organization.

Communication Studies
(Major)
Embracing a variety of disciplines from Temple’s highly ranked School of Media & Communication (SMC), the
Communication Studies major covers media studies and production, film and media arts, journalism, speech, and theater.
So that they can develop as professionals familiar with both the practice and theory of communications, students may
undertake an optional internship.
My sister is a senior at Temple, so I knew about Temple’s many campuses. I knew I wanted to
travel and be in a new environment. Since I’ve always had an interest in Japanese culture, TUJ
seemed like the perfect choice. I originally came with the intention of being a Japanese major,
but after hearing about Temple’s DBMD (Dual Bachelor’s Master’s Degree) program, I decided
to become a Communication Studies major with a minor in Art and a certificate in Japanese.
I am really happy at TUJ. It is a wonderful place to get a great education in a global
environment. There are so many teachers and students of various nationalities, which creates
a culturally enriching atmosphere. The courses are interesting, too. Many have improved
my ability to think critically and analyze more thoroughly, as well as stress the importance of
teamwork and networking. These skills will benefit me in any career path I choose.
While I am undecided on what I want to do after university, my academic goal is to get
accepted into the DBMD program. I also want to participate in a summer session in Rome.
I want to make use of all the opportunities TUJ has to offer and enjoy life.

Ronald Carr
Associate Professor of Film and Media Arts
Advisor and Coordinator of the Communication Studies major
Our Communication Studies program takes an interdepartmental approach. For example, students
who have an interest in filmmaking can study videography, editing and sound. Those with an
interest in journalism can work in magazine writing, the online space and broadcasting. Our goal
is to develop students intellectually and prepare them for professional-level competency in media.
Being in Tokyo is superior for internships, given the international reach of both Japanese and
foreign media. Over the years, our students have received internships at many foreign bureaus,
public relations and advertising companies, and startup internet firms.
Students who pursue communications as a career have to be creative, flexible, and possess a critical
mind. Self-motivation is also very important; if you work in film, television, radio or advertising,
you must be able to pick up where someone has left off, put the pieces together, and take over.
These are the qualities we emphasize in the program.
The communications realm is changing rapidly. You must be international, open and flexible to
succeed. TUJ allows you to get an education from a topnotch faculty as well as experience a new
culture and gain a wider perspective.

Professor of Asian Studies and History
Advisor and Coordinator of the Asian Studies major
Asian Studies is one of the strongest majors at TUJ, and it plays to the strengths of our faculty.
If you believe that the passport to the future includes having good English language skills,
computer skills, and critical thinking abilities, TUJ is a very attractive option. The Asian Studies
major really prepares students for excellent careers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Our graduates go on to jobs in a variety of different fields, including the private business sector,
international organizations, NGOs and journalism. And since Asia is clearly the future for Japan,
keeping Japan’s relations with Asia strong is increasingly vital.
You won’t just be studying what’s in your textbooks, either. Working as an intern at an
organization, for example, you’ll see firsthand what you’re learning in the classroom playing
out in the real world. You’ll have access to a wide variety of internships in Tokyo, as well as great
resources when you want to do a research project. If you need to investigate migration in Asia,
for example, the offices of the UNHCR, the International Organization of Migration, and many
Japanese NGOs are all located here. Being in Tokyo —Asia’s leading capital— puts enormous
resources at your disposal.
I found TUJ while living in Japan and searching for a global university. While studying at
TUJ’s Academic English Program, I felt a warm welcome from teachers and staff. What
I continue to like most about TUJ is its uniqueness – being able to study in Japan while
also exploring opportunities at other Temple campuses. Through the IUT [intra-university
transfer] program, I was able to study at Main Campus in Philadelphia in fall 2011, and
am planning to return there to graduate with a degree in Asian Studies. I would like to
learn more about Asia, specifically Japan, as well as developing Asian countries and their
relationships with developed countries such as the U.S., Japan and those in Europe. What
I learn about different kinds of people and how to interact with them will undoubtedly
help me in my future career. Going forward, I plan to continue my studies and improve
my English while also looking for a rewarding job, where I will have opportunities to meet
people from around the world. I also plan on continuing with my volunteer work.

foundation courses such as drawing, painting and two-dimensional and three-dimensional
design on up to an advanced level of study. Art majors are also required to take digital-based
courses involving digital photography, computers, and the Internet. These are essential skills for
finding a job in the art field and moving your career forward.
I usually have students from five or six different countries studying in one classroom. They learn
how to inspire others, not just through verbal communication but also through their work.
By inspiring others, you share a connection to what they create as well.
Tokyo is known as a center of design and fashion, and lots of contemporary art comes out of this
city, making it an amazing place to study art. If you want to study art in English in Tokyo, TUJ is
really the best option around. We view all of Tokyo as our campus, so we work with students to
utilize the dynamics of the city as a resource.
True to the curriculum of Temple’s renowned Tyler School of Art, the Art major focuses on visual art practice within a liberal
arts context. Courses include design, drawing, painting, three-dimensional design, printmaking, digital photography, digital
imaging, Internet imaging, moving images, motion graphics, media arts and art history. The faculty teaches studio art from
the viewpoint of its connection to such disciplines as psychology, literature, philosophy, mathematics, biology and physics.

Sample Curriculum
I decided to pursue art as my major after I transferred to TUJ where I can learn not only art,
but also English. I thought this would expand my career opportunities after I graduate. My
parents see I am serious and support me. Everyone at TUJ is friendly. The campus is small,
so there are many chances to see and talk to students from all around the world. There are
many field trips in the art classes, not only to major museums but also to small galleries.
These lead me to a better understanding and enriched perspective of art. I have been
pursuing painting at Main Campus since fall 2012. I would like to take advantage of various
communication media that have been developed and become an unconventional artist.

Japanese Language
(Major /Minor in Japanese)
TUJ’s Japanese Language major is a unique program designed to offer a comprehensive Japanese language curriculum in a
JSL (Japanese as a Second Language) setting. It aims to achieve advanced and well-balanced proficiency in Japanese so that
students will be well-equipped with linguistic skills and fully prepared to engage with the wider scholarship of Japanese
studies. It is most suitable as part of a double major to complement one of TUJ’s well-established interdisciplinary studies
such as Asian Studies, International Affairs, Communication Studies, International Business Studies, and so forth.

major and Critical Languages
Our program takes a functional approach to language learning. It lays a special emphasis on
language acquisition and its mastery so that students establish a solid linguistic foundation
through integral language courses coupled with skills-based courses. TUJ ensures an optimum
language learning environment for students where they have the opportunity to pursue their
studies alongside Japanese students on campus and in the local community.
At TUJ, students who take up Japanese language have a strong interest in international
careers, in U.S.-Japan relations and in Japan’s relations with other countries. Many pursue
career opportunities in the Japanese markets where Japanese language proficiency is an
absolute must. To meet such students’ needs and demands, the Japanese Language major
focuses on enabling students to become functional and competent in all four language
skills—reading, writing, speaking and listening—in Japanese.
I first learned about TUJ when a recruiter came to my high school Japanese class. After I
visited Japan on a two-week scholarship program I realized Japan was where I wanted
to be. TUJ became my answer to a dream. I love the fact the even though TUJ is in Japan,
it is an American university. It has been a goal of mine to become an English/Japanese
translator. Though I am only in my second semester, I have already learned a great deal.
Knowing about many subjects will help me as a translator. I plan to become fluent in
Japanese and learn many more subjects before I leave TUJ so that I can have a good chance
of succeeding. TUJ has become a step to reach my dream career, and I am looking forward
to the next three years of my education here.

(Major/Minor)
Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, Economics
provides fundamental tools of analysis for all social
science subjects, adding depth and complexity to the
study of political science, geography and urban studies,
history, and law. Courses address such issues as economic
development, creation of wealth, fundamentals of
economic policies, and financial theory and principles.
The senior seminar pays special attention to Japan’s place
in the Asian and global economies.
Psychological Studies provides a broad understanding of
psychologyasthescienceofhumanbehaviorandofitsunderlying
mental processes, while uniquely focusing on cross-cultural
and Asian issues. Foundation courses such as developmental,
clinical, social, cognitive, and organizational psychology develop
students’ skills in critical thinking, research methodology, and
research writing, and broaden their knowledge and deepen
their understanding of pertinent cross-cultural and Asian issues.
Students must participate in either an internship or a research
project, both of which culminate in a final paper.

Political Science intersects with almost all the humanities.
It analyzes and systematizes political systems, political
theory, and international relations. Students sound out
the dimensions of these three sectors in basic courses
before they specialize. They are strongly recommended
to study a foreign language.
General Studies enables students, in consultation with the
Academic Advising Center, to design an interdisciplinary
major in the humanities (critical languages, English,
philosophy and religion) or the social sciences (American
studies, Asian studies, economics, history, political
science and psychology). Students may create an area
of study that embraces an intellectual theme, such as
environmental and population control, human rights, war
and peace, or moral and ethical responsibilities.

2+2 and 3+2 Programs with Main Campus
in Philadelphia
Credit Exchange Program with Musashi University
Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies
Temple University is offering 2+2 and 3+2 programs in which
students study at both the Japan campus and Main Campus
in Philadelphia to complete their degrees.
Computer Science
Health Information
Management
Communication Studies
2+2 Programs
The first two years at the Japan campus, followed by two years
at Main Campus
This program is best for students interested in pursuing courses of
study which are not offered at the Japan campus. Students spend their
first two years at the Japan campus completing most of the required
General Education courses, and take a certain number of required major
courses online. Students then transfer to Main Campus to complete their
undergraduate degree.
3+2 Dual Bachelor’s Master’s Program
The first three years at the Japan campus, followed by two
years at Main Campus
This program is best for students interested in accelerating completion
of both undergraduate and master’s degrees within five years. After
completing the first three years and most of the required undergraduate
courses at the Japan campus, students enroll in the master's program and
study the final two years at Main Campus. In the fourth year, students
take their remaining required undergraduate courses while also taking
courses in the master's degree program.
TUJ and Musashi University have introduced a credit exchange program
which provides students at both institutions with enhanced educational
opportunities as well as facilitates academic collaborations and
exchanges. Students who participate in this program are able to take
courses that are not offered at their home institution without having
to pay extra tuition. Credits from either institution will count towards
graduation at the student’s home institution. For international students
at TUJ majoring in Japanese Language or Asian Studies, this program will
provide excellent opportunities to challenge themselves by taking classes
offered in Japanese at Musashi. They can also get to know more Japanese
students through cultural exchanges.
Musashi University

Serving as a forum for intellectual and cultural exchange, the Institute of
Contemporary Asian Studies (ICAS) embodies TUJ’s commitment to providing
innovative international education.
At ICAS lectures, seminars and symposia, international scholars present their
work on Japanese and Asian social, cultural, and political issues.
Past ICAS Events

Scholarships and Grants
Incoming degree-seeking students with demonstrated
academic excellence and other exceptional qualifications are
eligible for scholarships that cover the matriculation fee or
a significant portion of full-time tuition. To be considered,
applicants apply for admission by the eligibility deadline
and mark “yes” in the scholarship box on the admissions
application form. Students with demonstrated financial need
may be eligible for need-based grants.
Continuing Student Scholarships
Full-time undergraduate students who have completed 12
credits are eligible. Scholarship awards are based on academic
merit and, in some cases, financial need.
The Noddin Scholarship for Continuing Students
Donated by the family of Mr. Robert Noddin, this scholarship
will support ten academically successful but financially
challenged continuing students per year by providing
US$5,000 (approximately ¥480,000) per student to supplement
tuition. Mr. Noddin, President & Chief Executive Officer of
AIG Japan Holdings KK, is a strong supporter of TUJ and has
been a member of TUJ's Board of Overseers since 2010. TUJ
will increase each of the Noddin Scholarships with matching
funds to make the total equal to 9-credit tuition (¥558,000).
Diamond Research Scholars Program
Undergraduate students have the opportunity to engage
in a focused, mentored research or creative arts project
during the summer and fall, including a US$2,750 stipend
during the summer.
External Scholarships
Many cultural and academic organizations, businesses and
government offices offer scholarships. Research online
and ask your teachers and supervisors to see what may
be available. Check the TUJ website for links to useful
scholarship search sites.
U.S. Financial Aid
U.S. citizens and permanent residents can apply for U.S.
federal financial aid through the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). TUJ uses the same FAFSA code as Temple
Main Campus, 003371. Non-U.S. citizens may be eligible for
financial aid from their home country’s government. Contact
the department of education to see what may be available
for study abroad students.
Veterans Benefits
Students eligible for the GI Bill (Post-9/11 and Montgomery)
may use these funds towards tuition and fees at TUJ. In most
cases, the Post-9/11 GI Bill will cover 80%-100% of tuition, fees
(other than the application fee) and books, and approximately
US$1,600 per month for living costs. Transcripts from schools
such as University of Maryland University College (UMUC) and
Central Texas College (CTC), as well as military transcripts (Joint
Services Transcript and Community College of the Air Force),
will also be evaluated for potential transfer credit.
Scholarships are offered every semester to both new and continuing TUJ students.

Both U.S. federal financial aid and veterans benefits are available to eligible U.S. citizens and
permanent residents.

Temple University, Japan Campus is a great school because of
the diversity of students. This was one of the main reasons I
chose TUJ. After being enlisted in the United States Navy for
eight years, I became accustomed to being around and working
with people from various backgrounds and various parts of the
world. The GI Bill assisted me in pursuing my college degree,
which would have otherwise been unachievable without
putting myself into debt. The revisions made to the GI Bill in
2009 provided more benefits, most importantly living expenses,
which allowed me to focus on school instead of trying to work
and attend school full-time. After I graduate from TUJ, I plan
to attend Japanese language school to improve my Japanese
and apply for a government position at the U.S. Embassy or
on one of the U.S. military bases in Japan. I decided to stay in
Japan because I have established a life here with my wife and
kids. Tokyo is a city filled with people from many different
cultures and I believe such environments are healthy and better
represent the world around us. I think it is very important
that my children are familiar with both their American and
Japanese cultures.

Career Fair
Company Information Sessions
Every year the TUJ career fair brings representatives from 15 to 20 Japanese and
foreign companies to TUJ to meet with current students and alumni to discuss
career opportunities. These companies are eager to meet promising students
who might be significant assets to their organizations. The career fair gives
both students and alumni the opportunity to meet with a variety of company
representatives and discover what kind of employees companies are looking for.
This is also a great opportunity to practice interview skills. All TUJ students and
alumni are welcome to attend.
The Career Development Office also conducts individual company
information sessions throughout the year. In these sessions, the invited
company usually talks for 40-60 minutes, followed by a Q&A session.
Recently, more companies in Japan are hiring non-
Japanese college graduates who are bilingual. There
are many job opportunities in Japan for multilingual
and multicultural people. Higher demand for those
who can play an active part in this global market
is one of the reasons why TUJ maintains a high
job placement rate despite the current economic
situation. The Career Development Office provides a
variety of support services to help students prepare
for job hunting in Japan.

The Japan Times is the oldest English-language daily newspaper in
Japan, founded in 1897 through the efforts of Yukichi Fukuzawa,
Hirobumi Ito and others who led modernization efforts in the
Meiji Era. These days, The Japan Times continues to aspire to those
founders' aims of providing Japanese domestic news to the world
in English. In recent years, as interest in Japanese art and culture
has increased abroad, we are confident that the mission of our
Arts, Entertainment, and Features Division has become even more
important. For the past few years, we have sponsored interns from
TUJ, and have been happy to discover that many TUJ students
share our beliefs. While interning with us, TUJ students have
demonstrated healthy international standpoints, proactive attitudes
no doubt fostered by their American education, impressive
bilingual communication skills, and diverse interests. Under the
guidance of professional editors, student interns have worked side-
by-side with professional journalists in conducting interviews and
writing articles. The students’ work includes introducing events,
interviewing celebrities, and reporting from the front lines of
Japanese culture. It is a pleasure to work with TUJ students and
assist them in building their professional skills.

I went to university in the United States for quite a while, but I had an
opportunity to work for a growing Fortune 100 company, Best Buy, and I
decided to dedicate myself to making that a career. I did very well at Best
Buy, but I always regretted not finishing my degree. And after the financial
crisis of 2008, I reevaluated my goals and decided I wanted to pursue an
international career. I was very interested when I saw the International
Business Studies major offered at TUJ and I went forward with my
application. The classes and professors made the experience very enjoyable
and challenging. The hands-on approach to teaching international business
made me feel I was gaining practical knowledge along with theory. The
pinnacle experience for me was my internship at GE Capital Japan. This
world-class international company exposed me to all the facets of working
in structured finance. I felt that the employees there really cared about my
development, and gave me challenging and rewarding projects. GE Capital
Japan was a good mix of learning and producing something of real value
for the company.

2011, B.B.A. in Business Management
Analyst in the Tokyo office,
Goldman Sachs
A l u m n a
Asian economies are growing fast and there are a lot of opportunities, so I
decided to study in Japan because I wanted to find out more about business
in Asia. I wanted to get an American education as I was keen on working in
an international organization. After doing some research I found out about
Temple. The university seemed perfect as it is located in the center of Tokyo,
giving me an opportunity to experience Asian culture as well as study with
students from around 50 countries. I was able to debate, present, work on
teams and make life-long connections with people whom I thought I would
never be able to know. I really enjoyed the international environment
and wanted to find a workplace where I could get a similar international
atmosphere, leverage my skills, and constantly challenge myself. My current
role as an operations analyst in Goldman Sachs is exactly this – I am able
to work with diverse teams and am constantly challenged to think outside
the box and do better. Coming from Russia, living in Japan and studying in
an American university helped open my eyes to a very interesting world of
opportunities and find an excellent firm to work for like Goldman Sachs.

2012, B.A. in Art and Japanese Language

Rakuten, Inc.
I joined TUJ in 2008, and it took me nearly 5 years to complete a double
major in Art and Japanese Language. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciate the experience. Through TUJ, I was able to find part-time work,
intern at a sizable Japanese company, and gain valuable knowledge and
insight into local job hunting. It is owing to such experiences that I now
work at Rakuten, Inc.
Looking at what I have achieved, I cannot help but express my sincerest
gratitude to those who have made my dream of living and working in
Japan a reality. There is the staff and faculty at TUJ, and the many friends
with whom I have had the pleasure of sharing both good times and bad
over the years; I cannot name them all.
I can go on about my experiences at TUJ, but to do so would barely be
scratching the surface. Perhaps it is enough to say that when I graduated,
I did not want it to end. TUJ has given me both professional skill and
experience, and personal memories to cherish for years to come. I hope to
do justice to both as I move forward with the next stage of my life.

Jedidiah Cajudo
American / Homestay Student
TUJ guarantees housing for new international students.
Those on a TUJ-sponsored Japanese student visa are required to spend their first semester
in TUJ housing, and may extend their stay on a space-available basis.
Housing options include dormitories or living with a Japanese family on a homestay.
TUJ uses two dorm facilities in the Tokyo area. Students are assigned to a facility based on gender. Both facilities offer ample
opportunities for TUJ students to interact with Japanese students attending other universities in the Tokyo area.
Homestays
Homestays offer students the chance to live with a Japanese family
instead of in a dormitory for their first semester. It is a wonderful
opportunity to practice Japanese and experience modern Japanese
culture first-hand. Two meals are provided each day and students have
their own room. In order to make the best of this experience, students
are expected to adjust to the host family's living arrangement, "live
locally," eat a Japanese diet with the host family, participate in
Japanese family life, and spend meaningful time with the family.
Preference for selection will be given to students who demonstrate
cultural sensitivity, flexibility, and a genuine interest and commitment
to Japanese culture by speaking Japanese (or being willing to learn, if
a beginner) and abiding by Japanese values and customs.
The Office of Student Services (OSS) provides information and holds a housing fair every semester to help students learn about private housing
options for when they move out of the dormitory or homestay.
I originally planned to stay at TUJ for a
semester or two. I decided to participate in
TUJ’s homestay program because I thought
it would be the best opportunity for me
to immerse myself in Japanese culture and
home life. We went on various trips and
my homestay family took me to concerts
and Japanese culture classes. I have decided
to stay long term in Japan because of
my homestay experience. I credit all my
Japanese language skills to them as well.
