JWP courses cover a wide range of subjects, from Asian Pacific studies and economic development to contemporary Japanese culture. Participation is also open to regular Japanese students, providing an ideal environment where Japanese and SKP students can study side by side. These courses are taught entirely in English and consist of two formats: lecture-based and discussion-based. Most courses are held once a week, equaling two credits per semester, per course.
Note: Students enrolled in the IJL track may also supplement their Japanese studies with courses offered through the JWP Track.
