Waseda Oregon Summer Program

Four Japanese language levels are offered. Students are tested for placement upon arrival at Waseda University. The placement test is required for all students. Approximate course level prerequisites* are:
| Level One: | at least one semester of college-level Japanese |
| Level Two: | at least one year of college-level Japanese |
| Level Three: | at least two years of college-level Japanese |
| Level Four: | Usually three years of college-level Japanese |
*The above are rough guidelines only as Japanese language instruction differs significantly from institution to institution in the United States.

Four Comprehensive Japanese classes are offered in addition to over twenty Japanese Language Workshops.
Each participant will enroll in one Comprehensive Japanese course (out of four levels offered), four to seven Japanese Language Workshops (out of 20+ offered) and a required weekend homestay.
