In September, HTIC graduate Mr. Morgan Koyama, a native of Oregon, USA, completed his baccalaureate degree in International Studies at Tokai University. It has been challenging for HTIC students who are not native speakers of Japanese to pursue baccalaureate degrees at Tokai University because the program in Japan is taught entirely in Japanese. Morgan, however, was able to master Japanese and become the first American student to earn degrees from both HTIC and Tokai University.
In 2008, HTIC began offering "Discover Japan," a chance to study Japanese at Tokai University while still enrolled at HTIC. Discover Japan was the first of the College's three "Discover East Asia" programs; the other two are "Discover China" and "Discover Korea." Students are now afforded the chance to study intensive Japanese, Chinese, or Korean in the country of their choice before graduating from HTIC.
As more and more HTIC students choose to go to Japan to partake in the Discover Japan program, we hope to see others follow in Morgan's footsteps.
Congratulations Morgan!
