Description: The University of New Orleans, after a successful inaugural year in 2009, will offer the 2010 UNO-Japan: Study at Doshisha University summer program in Kyoto, Japan. One of the most picturesque, historically and culturally rich cities in Japan, Kyoto serves as the perfect backdrop for students to learn the Japanese language and take courses in such fields as the Japanese language, History, Anthropology, and Literature. Incorporating Honors options in the courses, the UNO-Japan: Study at Doshisha University program has something for just about everyone!

Highlights: This five-week adventure is in the city of Kyoto, where students learn and live in the cradle of Japanese civilization. Join us next summer and take advantage of a unique opportunity to study where cultures merge and history emerged. The ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto has a rich tradition in the arts, literature, and language. Participate with other students in a fascinating journey of excitement and discovery. Each of two courses carries three hours of credit and emphasizes the exploration of this culturally-rich world. Field trips that include a day in Kyoto plus visits to Osaka (historically the commercial capital of Japan) and Nara (the capital of Japan from 710-784) are offered as part of the program.
