The Go Global Gateway (GGG) program will offer a short-term spring program for UTokyo undergraduate students to study with students of Princeton University in New York City. The program is exclusively for students who have been awarded the GGG certificate*.
This exclusive joint program between UTokyo and Princeton University focuses on the history and future of Japan and its people in the United States. The program takes place in UTokyo NY Office, just south of the Central Park, as well as on the campuses of Rutgers University and Princeton University during the spring break. It offers an excellent opportunity for students of both schools to deepen their understanding of Japan while also befriending their counterparts.
Princeton University and UTokyo are both recognized for their excellence in research and education. The two universities have had close ties over the years, including university-wide student exchange program and strategic partnership that has included cutting-edge research collaborations in various fields.
This is a non-credit bearing program and is supported by Princeton University and UTokyo as well as the Toshiaki Ogasawara Memorial Foundation and the Yoshida Scholarship Foundation.
All the courses are offered in English, but there will be a daily conversation session in Japanese everyday for Princeton students to try and practice their conversational skills. However, no prior knowledge of the language is required.
