OVER VIEW

The Joint Degree Program (JDP) is a unique program offered in coordination with Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto and American University in Washington D.C. The program provides a single curriculum designed by both universities and confers a joint undergraduate degree. To highlight the attractive features of the JDP, we conducted interviews on how students spend their time and what they learn through this first-of-its-kind international partnership program.
