  As
it continues to grow, overseas students will play an
important role in the life of Immaculate Heart University.
In return, with its quiet rural setting, but with easy
access to the major cities in the area, Immaculate Heart
offers the opportunity to concentrate on study and the
chance to explore facets of Japanese life rarely seen
by visitors.
For overseas students, there are intensive courses in
Japanese at all levels throughout the year. For more
advanced students, many of the regular classes in such
areas as Social Studies, History and Culture would also
be available. Overseas students may also join specialized
classes in English if they wish.
Please refer to the separate course outline brochure
for details.
