The Center for Japanese Studies, or CJS as it is better known, was established at Nanzan over thirty years ago, and its comprehensive program now encompasses not only language-related studies but also courses in area studies as well as practical courses in traditional arts. In addition to the Center's dedicated language teachers, specialists from the social sciences and the humanities from the University's regular faculties contribute to the teaching in the program. The Center itself belongs to the Center for International Education, which oversees the entire range of the University's international teaching, research, and exchange activities.

We have established the Nanzan University International Students Alumni Network facebook site. If you would like to have an article put up on the site, please contact Nanzan University International Students Alumni Network(intl-alumni@nanzan-u.ac.jp). We will also accept articles at the Center for International Education Office (cie-office@nanzan-u.ac.jp) or at the Center for Japanese Studies (cjs@ic.nanzan-u.ac.jp). We very much look forward to hearing from you.
