COURSES IN ENGLISH and/or JAPANESE:

Launched in October 2017, The Discovery Program for Global Learners is a 4 year undergraduate program that can be completed entirely in English. In addition, advanced speakers of Japanese can also take courses in Japanese and even conduct their senior project in Japanese. Intensive Japanese language training is also offered to help students adapt to life in Okayama. We have successfully created a close-knit community, vibrant with students from 20 different countries.

Each year, we receive roughly 30 international students and 30 domestic students. They pursue an individualized curriculum in an interdisciplinary and bilingual environment. Students can complete their study in the English-based Discovery Track, mainly offered by Discovery’s own faculty or in the Japanese-based Open Track, in which students can take courses offered in other faculties on campus. After four-years of undergraduate study, students earn a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (B.A.Sc).

We cherish the idea of diversity. Our faculty members also come from diverse backgrounds and rich experiences in different parts of the worlds. All of our faculty are passionate educators. We provide an outstanding learning experience, including internships, fieldwork, study abroad, and lab work, in addition to intensive small discussion-based classes in this program.
We hope to see you on campus in the near future.
