Approved Chinese and Japanese Study Abroad Programs
Students studying Chinese and Japanese at Connecticut College are strongly encouraged to study in the country in the junior year where the target language is spoken. Majors must consult with departmental faculty in selecting the program that best suits their needs and interests. Summer language programs at universities in and outside the United States are an option for those who wish to accelerate their language study.
Please visit the Office of National and International Programs site for further information on Connecticut College's policies and philosophy on study away and study abroad.
Chinese
Students typically study abroad during their junior year for a semester, combined summer/fall semester, or full academic year. Our college has a strong relationship with the Associated Colleges in China (ACC) Program that administers an intensive language program in Beijing, and all students are encouraged to apply. Alternate programs are available in both Mainland China and in Taiwan. All students returning from a Chinese language program outside of the college are required to take an oral and written placement test to gain academic credit and/or place into the appropriate level of our program.

Japanese
Connecticut College
is a charter member of the consortium that administers the Associated
Kyoto Program (AKP), a year-long study program at Doshisha University
in Kyoto, Japan. AKP students take intensive Japanese language classes
and two courses taught in English each semester. Credit equivalent
to a full course load at Connecticut College transfers automatically,
and students who receive financial aid from College can apply it to
their year at AKP. All AKP students are placed in home stay with Japanese
families who live within commuting distance to the Doshisha campus.
All students returning
from a Japanese language program outside of the college (except AKP) are
required to take an oral and written placement test to gain academic credit
and/or place into the appropriate level of our program.
