American Studies Program 2012 CATALOG - Tokyo International ...

PROGRAMS
To achieve these goals, the following components of the ASP program have been
designed and implemented:
1. An intensive program in English language and American culture that
gives students the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills they need
to become active community participants and to succeed academically
while they are in the United States.
2. A program in American Studies which emphasizes not only the study of
various aspects of American Society but also a comparative analysis of
the United States and Japan. In addition, ASP students have the
opportunity to take a limited number of Willamette University courses
from the curriculum of the College of Liberal Arts.
3. Co-curricular programs in the areas of Residence Life and Student
Activities that provide opportunities for experiential learning and that are
supportive of students achieving personal goals in their own
development and in their relationships with others, both within and
outside of the Willamette campus community.
4. Special programs designed to meet the educational and professional
development needs of those working in international corporations and
organizations.
