Program Description

Study abroad at one of Japan’s "Ivy League" universities. Waseda, founded in 1882, is one of Japan’s oldest and most prestigious centers of learning. Pacific students can enroll in a wide range of courses taught in English in the liberal arts, business, social sciences, political science and economics. Students can also study Japanese language and culture.

Waseda is located in the heart of Tokyo, but has a campus feel. The neighborhood around Waseda is well-known for its lush, natural surroundings and centuries-old traditions, creating the best of an urban college town atmosphere.

Pacific's Bilateral Exchange programs are suitable for students with strong leadership skills who want an immersion experience studying with local students, relying on local services with no management or oversight by Pacific or other U.S. providers.
