Japan Center for Michigan Universities

The Japan Center for Michigan Universities (JCMU) study abroad program is a product of the strong sister-state relationship between the State of Michigan and Shiga Prefecture. It is located on the shore of Lake Biwa in the City of Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Its programs are dedicated to building relationships between Japanese, Americans, and other nationalities through active learning and participation in language, culture, family life and society. Over 800 university students have participated in JCMU programs since 1989. Students do not need to attend a member university to participate.

To learn more about opportunities through JCMU log-on to the web site.

Are there special health issues?

It is strongly recommended that students consult with their personal physician or a travel clinic at least 3 months prior to their departure. Students need to ensure their routine immunizations are up-to-date; inquire whether there are recommended and/or required immunizations for the country/countries they will visit (including any countries they will visit that are not part of this study abroad program's itinerary); and review educational issues relevant to their personal health and well being.
