Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) and Musashi University have agreed to introduce a credit exchange program from this coming fall. The credit exchange program will provide students at both institutions enhanced educational opportunities as well as facilitating academic collaborations and exchanges.
Students who participate in this program will be able to take courses that are not offered at their home institution without having to pay extra tuition, and the credits from either institution will count toward graduation.
For international students at TUJ who major in Japanese Language or Asian Studies, this program will provide opportunities to challenge themselves by taking classes offered in Japanese at Musashi. They can also get to know more Japanese students through cultural exchanges. On the other hand, Musashi students will be able to approximate the study-abroad experience without leaving Japan by taking classes in English at TUJ, where international students comprise 60% of the undergraduate student body.

I hope TUJ will be keeping their English language qualifications up to snuff.
Full time ESL students need at least a 500 score on the TOEFL test to enroll in classes...
I can't imagine the work load put on teachers, otherwise.
Not to mention "the dumbing down" of TUJ classes for other students; both ESL who have worked hard to achieve a high score on the TOEFL, as well as a semester of APP training, to be on level with the international, native-English speaking students...
And vice-versa, at Musashi U.

I am just about to graduate from TUJ this summer. I highly recommend it. Great courses, great teachers. Great university.
