  The Applied English Center at the University of Kansas has welcomed short-term program students from Kanagawa University in Japan since 1991. These students
  • study English language and American culture,
  • go on weekend field trips,
  • interact with native-speaker conversation leaders,
  • participate in a short home stay, and
  • make a variety of connections on campus and in the community.

In this four week program, students improve their language skills and learn what it is like to live on an American university campus and in a Midwestern community. This cross-cultural experience has proved to be a life-enhancing experience for hundreds of students.
