Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies
The Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies (KCJS; Japanese: 京都アメリカ大学コンソーシアム) is an intensive, in-country program for the study of Japanese language and culture located in Kyoto, Japan. Operating under the auspices of 13 elite US universities, KCJS delivers summer, semester, and year-long curricula that are academically rigorous and culturally immersive. KCJS is based in the center of Kyoto on the red-brick campus of Doshisha University. Students engage in rigorous language and disciplinary courses that lay the foundations for linguistic fluency and cultural literacy.
