We offer a multi-cultural learning environment at our state-of-the-art campus in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. Our cross-disciplinary, liberal arts approach includes experiential Japanese Arts and Culture workshops, and classes are conducted in an intimate setting with a 5:1 student to faculty ratio. 57% of iCLA's student body and 60% of our faculty are international, representing 40+ countries. Exchange students are each assigned an academic advisor from the faculty, and are also guaranteed a private room in our on-campus dormitory.
