Program Description

Waseda University is a large, private university, originally founded as Tokyo Senmon Gakko (Tokyo College) in October, 1882. The college was commonly referred to as Totsuka Gakko because of its location in Totsuka Village and Waseda Gakko because the founder, Shigenobu Okuma, lived in Waseda Village. The school became formerly known as Waseda Daigaku (Waseda University) in 1902. It started as a college of Political Science, Law, English and Physical Science and has since grown to include 13 Undergraduate schools of study and 24 Graduate schools. The university is located in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Areas of Study
Waseda University offers courses in English in the following fields: Art History, Biology, Biochemistry & Microbiology, Business, Chemistry, Communication and Journalism, Computer Science, Economics, Education, English Language & Literature, French, History, International Affairs, Mathematics, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology.

Academics
As a rule, Exchange students must select their courses from those offered by the school they will be affiliated with at Waseda. In some cases, you may be permitted to take courses offered to all students or courses offered by other schools as well, but your study plan should be focused on the courses offered by the school for which you are applying.

Full-time enrollment: Students must enroll in at least the equivalent to 12 UMaine credits. It is recommended that students enroll in up to 15 UMaine credits. Most courses at Waseda are either 2 or 4 Waseda credits. You would typically enroll in at least 7 courses, equaling 14 credits but could enroll in up to 20 credits, depending on the school.
