Implemented outbound and inbound mutual exchange programs

Furthermore, at our university, we are developing the "Campus Attending Program (CAP)", a program for accepting overseas partner schools linked to hybrid study abroad, at the Hachioji Campus.

This CAP started with the idea of ​​"let's bring a foreign country to the campus!" In response to a request from a student that "I'm interested in foreign countries, but I can't study abroad easily".A unique program that actively welcomes foreign students from overseas partner schools and encourages them to enjoy international exchange through assistance in their stay and various events so that our students can have opportunities for cross-cultural exchange while staying on campus. is.

As a friend of an international student (CA: Campus Attendant), our students support all aspects of life in Japan. English proficiency is not required to participate in CAP, but everyday conversation is in English, so it is useful for improving one's own English proficiency while deepening mutual exchange.

Until now, the general international exchange has been one-sided exchange, in which only "going" to study abroad and "coming" after studying abroad.On the other hand, CAP links the acceptance of hybrid study abroad programs and overseas partner universities' Japanese study abroad programs, and students who "go (the host university of the study abroad destination)" in the hybrid study abroad program "come to Kogakuin University" as a Japanese study abroad program. We have realized mutual exchange.As a result, the ultimate mutual exchange between students from both countries that "friends you know already exist at your study abroad destination" will be realized, and you will be able to expand your future business network while building a relationship of trust as a lifelong friend. I can do it.

There is also the advantage that the cost of operating a study abroad program can be kept low by partnering with our university and overseas partner schools to provide facilities for each study abroad program and support for international students free of charge. ..

Through two global programs, the outbound “hybrid study abroad” and the inbound “campus attending program,” the distance between students and the world is getting closer and closer.Of course, that must be the most felt by them.
