Greetings from the Center for International Exchange Tsuda College is a private liberal arts college for women with a history of more than one hundred and ten years since its founding. We are proud of the high quality of our education, the close relationships between students and faculty members, and the campus, which is surrounded with greenery and trees while conveniently located in the suburbs of Tokyo. Over the years, Tsuda College has earned a high reputation for producing quality graduates who contribute to society in various fields. Another characteristic of Tsuda College students is their strong interest in intercultural exchanges. We have exchange programs with 24 institutions in 12 countries: Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These programs provide exciting opportunities for students, enabling them to improve their intercultural communication skills and broaden their horizons as global citizens. We are determined to make our exchange programs inspiring and meaningful for both the international students we welcome here and our domestic students. We greatly appreciate your interest in our college.

Message from the Director of the Center for International Exchange

Tsuda College has promoted international cooperation with academic institutions around the world ever since its founding. The Center for International Exchange (CIE) handles exchange agreements with partner institutions providing useful information and opportunities to encourage international students. It is our privilege to assist students from abroad so that they will be able to enjoy their stay with us at Tsuda College. We are very much looking forward to hearing from you.

Professor Atsuko Hayakawa Department of English CIE Director for 2013

A Profile of Tsuda College History In 1871, only three years after the feudal government of the Tokugawa Shogunate collapsed, the new Meiji government sent five young Japanese women to the United States to study. The youngest was six-year-old Umeko Tsuda. She spent eleven years in Washington, D.C., where she graduated from high school. When Umeko returned to Japan in 1882 at the age of 18, she experienced a severe case of culture shock. She was especially distressed to see the low status of women in Japanese society. She taught at the Peeresses’ School for a few years before returning to the United States to study at Bryn Mawr College in 1889. After coming back to Japan in 1892, she resumed her teaching but soon made the decision to realize her dream to provide Japanese women the high level of education that only men were then allowed to have. In 1900 Umeko Tsuda founded a school called Joshi Eigaku Juku (Women’s School of English Education) with 10 students. It was like a seed which carried the large dream of Umeko Tsuda, who hoped that women would become equal partners with men in society as well as in the home. Under the educational reform which took place soon after the end of World War II, the school was officially recognized as Tsuda Juku Daigaku, or Tsuda College. The high level of education provided at Tsuda College was further demonstrated in 1961 when it set up an official Ph.D. program. It was the first women’s college or university to do so in Japan. Tsuda College has a student population of approximately 2,900. This small number allows the college to hold class sizes to a minimum and to provide quality education. Students, faculty members, and graduates alike share the founder’s dream of improving both Japanese and international society through the input of well-educated women. In the 21st century, it remains Tsuda’s goal to educate young women to collaborate with those from different cultures so that together they may build valuable partnerships across national borders.

Departments and Courses Tsuda College consists of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and a Graduate School. International exchange students can take any appropriate courses in any department. The Faculty of Liberal Arts includes the following four departments and two interdepartmental courses: Departments  Department of English The department provides five major courses: English and American Literature, Linguistics, American Studies, British Culture, and Communication Studies.  Department of International and Cultural Studies Five major courses are available:

International Law and Politics, International

Economics, Comparative Sociology, Comparative Culture, and Area Studies.  Department of Mathematics  Department of Computer Science Each Department has undergraduate and graduate programs leading to bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees. Interdepartmental Courses  Multicultural Studies/International Cooperation Course The course consists of three units: Multiculturalism and Language Education; International Cooperation; and International Wellness.  Media Studies Course

Location Tsuda College is located in the suburbs of Tokyo. It is about 20 km west of Shinjuku, one of the major shopping centers and transportation hubs in Tokyo. It takes approximately 40 minutes by train from Shinjuku to Takanodai station, which is about a ten-minute walk from the college. In the vicinity of Tsuda, various kinds of oaks have been preserved from the former Musashino forest. Paths along the Tamagawa Josui aqueduct, which was built in the 17th century, display the beauty of the four seasons. The area commands a distant view of Mt. Fuji on clear days.

Student Exchange Program Tsuda’s formal student exchange program started in 1978 with the signing of an exchange agreement with Bryn Mawr College.

Since then, the College has established student

exchange or visiting programs with 24 institutions abroad. We accept international students either for one year (April to January or September to July) or for half a year (spring semester or fall semester), depending upon students’ preferences. In our exchange programs, we welcome international students and send Tsuda students to one of our overseas partner institutions. Our visiting programs are one-way arrangements in which Tsuda students take part in study-abroad programs at partner institutions. Tsuda Student Exchange / Visiting Programs Country

Courses for International Exchange Students Japanese Language and Japanese Studies The following courses are designed to help international exchange students study the Japanese language and provide them with introductory as well as advanced studies on Japan. Each semester, students are expected to take courses in Japanese as a second language (eight hours a week*) and classes on Japanese Studies for international exchange students (two hours a week), with the level depending upon their Japanese ability, knowledge and interest. Japanese language classes (Aa, Ab, Ba, Bb) are offered based on the students’ level of language proficiency. Two credits are given to students who take one class for a year, and one credit for half a year. Japanese I and II are offered for international students seeking a full degree from Tsuda College. However, international exchange students with sufficient Japanese ability may also take Japanese I and II. In all these classes, evaluation is based on class attendance, class performance, papers and/or a written exam. *eight hours a week = four 90-minute periods a week Subject Japanese Language 日本語指導 Aa (Intensive Japanese Aa) 日本語指導 Ab (Intensive Japanese Ab) 日本語指導 Ba (Intensive Japanese Ba) 日本語指導 Bb (Intensive Japanese Bb) 日本語 Ia (Japanese Ia) 日本語 Ib (Japanese Ib) 日本語 IIa (Japanese IIa) 日本語 IIb (Japanese IIb)

Support for International Exchange Students Center for International Exchange A specialized adviser and other staff members at the Center for International Exchange (CIE) offer a variety of services for international students. They assist international students in applying for resident cards, national health insurance, and scholarships, and provide information on social and cultural exchanges, such as homestay programs and various events inside and outside Tsuda College. Academic Advisers Each international exchange student has an academic adviser, who will advise her on choosing classes and making her academic life productive. Big Sisters Some Tsuda students help international students as “Big Sisters.” -

They go to the airport to welcome international students.

-

They explain the dormitory rules and the use of dormitory facilities.

-

They notify international students about information given out and decisions made at dormitory assembly meetings.

-

They give explanations about the notices posted on bulletin boards in the dormitory.

Plum Park “Plum Park” is a student association which provides support for the daily and academic lives of international students at Tsuda College. This support includes tutoring, and giving information about everyday life and social exchange events for domestic and international students. Extra-curricular Activities Extra-curricular activities are organized by over eighty groups of students at Tsuda College, and include athletic circles, music circles and circles focusing on many other areas of interest.

Main Facilities on Campus Dormitories Tsuda College has three on-campus dormitories, Toryo, Seiryo, and Shiraumeryo, with a total capacity of 300 students. Toryo

Seiryo

Shiraumeryo

As a rule, international exchange students are advised to live in the dormitories. These living units are run on the principle of student autonomy, and residents are required to follow the rules and regulations laid out by each dormitory, including curfew and cleaning duties. The dormitories do not provide meals. However, there are fully equipped communal kitchens with cooking utensils, and most dormitory students prepare their own meals. Each room is furnished, and Tsuda College will loan international students items such as electric kettles, rice cookers, desk lamps, bicycles, etc. Since the number of international students is relatively small, living in the dormitory has the advantage of helping them immerse themselves in everyday life with Japanese students, improve their Japanese, and increase their knowledge of many aspects of Japanese culture. Dormitories are closed during part of the school vacation period. International students are encouraged to consult the CIE staff to find out about opportunities available for homestaying and traveling during these periods. Cafeteria Two cafeterias are conveniently located on campus. They offer students lunches and suppers at reasonable prices on weekdays. Computer Center There are about 300 computers available for the use of the students, and assistants help students with computer-related problems. The Computer Center provides college e-mail accounts and instructions about Wi-Fi usage on campus.

14

Wellness Center The Wellness Center offers a variety of services in order to help students enjoy a healthy student life. Staff members include a physician, a dermatologist, a gynecologist, a psychiatric counselor, a health nurse and a nutritionist.

The Center

conducts medical check-ups, gives advice on health, and offers counseling for personal problems. Library The library has approximately 380,000 books and 3,500 academic journals in both Japanese and other languages. In the reference room users have access to 10,000 works: dictionaries, statistical reference works, and encyclopedias from the U.K., the United States, France, Germany and Russia. It also has microfilms of various historical materials. Moreover, online journals, newspapers, and other online tools can be accessed using library computers, workstations in classrooms, and computers on campus. Tsuda College is a member of the Tama Academic Consortium

(TAC),

which

also

includes

the

International Christian University, the Kunitachi College of Music, Tokyo Keizai University, and Musashino Art University. International students are allowed to use libraries of the consortium members if they present their Tsuda College ID card and a letter of introduction to the member library from the Tsuda College library. A letter of introduction will be issued at the library upon request. AV Library The AV library is equipped with 10,000 CDs and audio tapes, including language learning materials for a great variety of different languages, poems, classical/popular music, and 10,000 DVDs and video tapes of movies, documentary films, plays, and art productions. International students can enjoy studying Japanese culture and language through both the library’s serious and more lighthearted resources (such as manga). International broadcasts from CNN, BBC, and Discovery Channel, etc., can be viewed live in the AV library. Chapel On campus, inside the Tsuda Umeko Hall, there is a chapel built in 1964 with a donation from Kiyo Okajima, a 1919 graduate. Every Thursday during lunch break, interested students, faculty and staff members, and alumni gather to attend Chapel Service. There are also special Chapel Services held for Christmas and Commencement. 15

Cost of Studying at Tsuda College Japan is widely known to be a country where living expenses are relatively high. International exchange students are required to have sufficient financial resources to cover educational costs and living expenses while studying at Tsuda College. To support international exchange students financially, Tsuda College provides Tsuda College Overseas Scholarships (up to a maximum of 300,000 yen) to qualified students. Those who are not receiving other scholarship aid exceeding 50,000 yen per month are eligible to apply. International exchange students may apply for a Student Exchange Support Program Scholarship (80,000 yen per month) funded by the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO).
