Nanzan University Center for International Education

The Center's Objectives and Activities

Established in April 1999, the Center for International Education's broad, international outlook is embodied in its mission to provide both international students studying at Nanzan University and Nanzan University students wishing to study at overseas educational institutions with the necessary support that will allow them to accomplish their academic goals.
