Tohoku Gakuin University (TGU) offers its students a variety of opportunities to interact and learn about different countries and cultures. Students are encouraged to develop a global perspective and the communication skills necessary for each student's personal development. As our world becomes increasingly internationalized, mutual understanding and respect of all countries and cultures has become a necessary endeavor, which is actively supported by TGU. The university currently has exchange and study abroad relationships with 12 universities in 8 countries, and the number of such relationships is expected to increase.

At TGU, students and staff members have numerous opportunities to learn to appreciate and interact with other cultures. Programs are geared to meet students' different needs and abilities. Programs can be as short as one month or as long as one year. Exchange students have concurrent status at TGU and their host institution abroad. Credits earned at other host institutions are recognized as part of the credit requirements for graduation at TGU. For students at universities that have an exchange relationship with TGU, a number of courses are offered. Students who have passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level N2 qualify to attend the same classes as regular TGU students.

For students who want to start learning Japanese or who have not attained proficiency in Japanese, a number of special courses are offered. Students interested in studying at TGU should contact the International Affairs Office.
