The Kyoto Center offers Columbia students the opportunity of study in Japan in a program combining intensive instruction in the Japanese language with courses taught in English on a wide range of topics in Japanese studies. Students should have at least the equivalent of two years of Japanese by the time of their departure. The program is most appropriate for the junior year, though other arrangements will be considered. For further information consult Professor Henry Smith (hds2@columbia.edu), 412 Kent Hall, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, telephone (212) 854-5033.
