Courses: |
● Our spring semester runs from April to July, and the following International Center Courses offered during the latter half of spring semester (from late May to the end of July) are open to summer program students. ● Those courses are not just for summer program students, but also for our local Keio students and exchange students, and some of the courses have limits on the number of students. ● In addition, each classroom on our campus has a capacity limit, due to infectious disease prevention measures. *Click here for more information to be updated from time to time. (Note: Courses listed on the webpage/document above may include full-semester spring courses starting from early April which summer program students cannot take.) *Summer program students are required to take 3 or 4 courses.
