Studying overseas The Wayo Network International students studying at Wayo Short-term Exchange Programs Exchange students who wish to study at Wayo Women’s University must be attending a university that has an active student exchange agreement with Wayo. The application form for the student ex- change program and all other application documents are forward- ed to the exchange student’s home university. The admission for exchange students is held twice a year. Because Wayo is a women’s university, we are not able to accept male students in undergraduate courses, but men may participate in graduate school exchange programs.

Because most Wayo classes are taught in Japanese, students must have passed the Japanese Lan- guage Proficiency Test Level 2 or above, or Japanese language section of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) with a score of 200 points or higher. In most departments, selection is based on an essay, a personal in- terview, and the student’s academic record presented with their ap- plication.

These programs are held in the United States, England, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, and China. Additionally, some departments host study abroad programs that focus on their specific disciplines. For exam- ple, Japanese Calligraphy students may attend a program in China to learn the history of China and calligraphy and to deepen their understanding of the country by visiting museums and cultural sites. Health and Nutrition students can participate in a study abroad program in Canada to learn about food and nutrition. While there, they visit food service providers, an Extendicare retirement home, a hospital, a school and a sports center. Glob- al Studies has a unique program called Global Field Work. Students choose a country that interests them, then research and discuss it with a faculty advisor in preparation for their individual field work. Individual Programs (6 months or 1 year) Students can choose a university to study at that matches their academic interests or study abroad at an es- tablished Wayo partner university. The credits that students earn in their studies abroad are accepted by Wayo after students return. The Office of International Programs (OIP) manages international programs at Wayo. The OIP also negotiates with partner universities, supports faculty and students who study abroad, and organizes new international programs. Additionally, the OIP plans and organiz- es international symposia and workshops at Wayo, coordinates student exchanges, and promotes in-bound and out-bound programs. Office of International Programs
