The first, and most important, step in preparing for study abroad is the school selection process.
What type of school are you looking for? Are you interested in short-term intensive language
training? Exchange programs or full-time study at high schools, colleges, and universities overseas? Perhaps Graduate Studies including
specializations such as the LL.M., M.B.A., or Executive Education? Whatever your needs, why not start by using the School Search categories
below. Contained within each of these categories are hundreds of schools that are waiting to hear from students just like you!
Keep in mind that all schools and programs are not the same, and that it's important to find the school that is just right for you.
Does the program satisfy your needs and requirements, i.e., will it help you attain your goals?
What is the living and learning environment like? What support services does the school provide?
For a list of other things to keep in mind, please visit the
Study Abroad section of the site.

JYA stands for Junior Year Abroad and is particularly for current university students in Japan looking to
spend a year (usually your junior/third year) studying overseas. Many institutions will have agreements in place with sister/partner institutions
that will allow you to transfer your credits back to your home institution. However, many students often go abroad just for the educational and
cultural experience, even if the credits do not transfer. The JYA Programs listed here are ideal for Japanese students and many have been adapted for
the Japanese academic year allowing you to maximize your time away from your home institution. JYA provides a great opportunity to improve your
English skills, live overseas, experience a new culture, and study alongside university students from around the world.
