Study Abroad in Japan

NSU has partnered with Aoyama Gakuin University (AGU) through which NSU students may study abroad on exchange. Bilateral exchange involves paying NSU tuition to NSU for courses taken on campus at the host institution.

The student will pay for housing and meals directly to the host institution. In many cases, the student may use financial aid and scholarships to help cover the costs. Check with NSU Financial Aid for details. Students may also apply for a Study Abroad Grant through the Office of International Programs.

Following our Step-By-Step Guide, you will get through the process easily!
