Rikkyo University will launch its "Global Liberal Arts Program" (GLAP), one of the mainstay programs under its super global university plan, in April.
GLAP aims to nurture university students to be global-level leaders, with all classes to be conducted in English, requiring those in the program to study abroad for a year. The course will accept 20 applicants a year.
Students in the program will be required to live in a dormitory with students from overseas for their first 18 months. Starting from the autumn term of their second year, they are required to go to Rikkyo-allied universities abroad to study for a year. It is hoped that this will allow them to discover their potential and develop cross-border networks.
