Besides knowledge of Japanese history, appreciation for local history overall especially in smaller urban and rural areas A student - Northern Illinois University View Entire Review
I gained respect for the country and studying abroad in general. This program lit a fire in my belly and I went on to study abroad for a little over a year in two other countries. Robert Copus - Northern Michigan University View Entire Review
I was already studying Japanese history, but I never knew just how influential the Shiga Prefecture area was before taking the Crossroads of Japan course! The experience was both incredibly enlightening and extraordinarily fun, and I would go back on the program in a heartbeat if I could. A student - Michigan State University View Entire Review

Criminal Justice in Japan
Japan is routinely recognized as one of the safest countries in the world. This course will explore both the criminal justice system and the culture of Japan that contribute to that recognition. Visits to various criminal justice entities, including policing organizations, courts, a prison, and a juvenile detention center will allow you a first-hand glimpse of the Japanese system. On this program, you will learn about Japanese culture and history in a classroom setting as well as through cultural events and field trips to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Hiroshima. Local trips will include Hikone Castle, Omihachiman, and a boat ride on Lake Biwa.
Entrepreneurship in Japan
This program will focus on generating great ideas and developing great plans for action by creating and testing viable business models through customer discovery and market research. Working in teams with Japanese medical students, you will develop a concept for a medical product, device or service and marketing strategy. Your team will have the opportunity to present your work to Japanese entrepreneurs and business people.
