To nurture future leaders for the coming century, Waseda and select prominent American universities have established the Global Leadership Fellows Program (GLFP). The aim of the program is to identify students of promise in multiple fields of study and promote their development as leaders in today’s world. The program helps develop leaders who have a solid knowledge of and respect for the histories, cultures and societies of both Asian and Western countries as well as the ability to make sound judgements and decisions informed by that knowledge, and who possess personal communication skills and embody values respected around the world, such as courage, trust, and a commitment to service, in addition to high intellectual and analytical abilities.
Waseda University has over 800 partnerships with higher education institutions globally, more than 200 of which are in North America. These relationships provide valuable opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students at both the partner institutions and Waseda to study abroad in semester-long and year-long exchange programs. Every year, Waseda welcomes close to 100 exchange students from the US and Canada. Accommodation options include dormitories, independent apartment rental and homestay, where students can further immerse themselves in Japanese culture.
The Japanese Language Program is held at Waseda’s own Center for Japanese Language, one of the largest of its kind in Japan, and features long-term (one semester or one year) and short-term programs (3-week or 6-week). The center, which offers courses for beginners to super advanced, is perfect for students who want to focus on learning to communicate in Japanese. More on the Japanese Language Program
