Dear Students,
Happy beginning of fall quarter. My name is Aspen Felt and I’m the coordinator for the Quarter Abroad program in Kyoto through the UC Davis East Asian Languages and Cultures Department. I’m happy to announce that this amazing program is now available to all UC students!
This program takes place in beautiful Kyoto, Japan’s cultural capital. While attending Kyoto Seika University, students will enroll in accelerated language and culture courses, participate in exciting excursions, and spend spring quarter exploring the cultural riches that Kyoto and the surrounding regions have to offer. The program is divided into two levels, consisting of courses for those who have completed Japanese 2 or Japanese 5. In Japan, students will complete an entire year of Japanese in only one quarter.
Enrollment is now open and will remain open until December 4th, 2015.
Program spots are saved on a first completed, first reserved process.
Financial Aid: Financial aid does apply and we recommend that students speak with the financial aid officers at both your home campus and Soua Lo here at UC Davis (sxlo@ucdavis.edu). As part of the process students will need a signature from the home campus financial aid officer, as well as home campus academic advisor.
Intercampus Visitor Process: As part of the enrollment, non-UC Davis students will also complete the Intercampus Visitor program application. More information about this process is available in the online enrollment: https://registrar.ucdavis.edu/registration/special-programs/icv= For additional questions about the enrollment process as a UCLA student, contact Nicole Uhlinger (nmuhlinger@ucdavis.edu)
Program Details: For additional questions about housing, excursions and other program details, contact the program coordinator and advisor, Aspen Felt (alfelt@ucdavis.edu).
Academics: This program carries a total of 18-22 quarter units. For questions about the classes taught on this program, you can contact the UC Davis Quarter Abroad Kyoto faculty leader, Joseph Sorensen (jsorensen@ucdavis.edu ). Course information and prerequisite equivalents can be found here.
I am also available for individual student appointments to discuss the program and answer any additional questions via email or over the phone.I hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Aspen Felt | Program Services Coordinator
