Directorからのメッセージ

Josai International University is offering an Al l-English BA for both Japanese and non-Japanese students. All required courses are taught in English, using English textbooks and reading materials. The curriculum includes courses in four major areas:

Japan from an International Perspective
International Exchange Studies
Business and Politics
The World - Language Learning and Teaching

This curriculum provides a unique opportunity for eligible 4th-year students to take graduate courses taught in English in preparation for an additional year, to earn a degree in our All-English MA program in five years.

Students with sufficient knowledge of Japanese can substitute English-taught courses with Japanese-taught courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Students from any faculty and any specializations at Josai International University can also join our All-English Program.

Our All-English BA allows students a chance to give a deeper understanding of Japan, Asia and the world, preparing them for careers in international business, business administration, government and non-government organizations, as well as language teaching careers.

Paul Schalow

Paul Schalow earned his BA from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, and both his MA and PhD from Harvard University. He has authored a book, A Poetics of Courtly Male Friendship in Heian Japan, which was nominated for the 2007 Warren-Brooks Award for Outstanding Literary Criticism; co-edited an important volume of essays, The Woman’s Hand: Gender and Theory in Japanese Women’s Writing; and produced a study and translation of Ihara Saikaku’s The Great Mirror of Male Love, winner of the 1990 Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature.

Paul Schalow is currently Professor of Japanese at Rutgers University and acting director of the All-English Program at JIU. His life-long interest in Asia came from living in Taiwan as a boy and later spending a year in Japan as a high school exchange student. He enjoys teaching and working with young people very much. His favorite courses are the one he teaches on Japanese women’s writing, atomic bomb literature, and Global East Asia, which are designed to explore contemporary issues such as gender, war and reconciliation, and theories of globalization and localization. His current research project is taking him back to the classical period, however: it addresses male interiority and self-representation in a Heian courtier’s diary written in Sino-Japanese.
