A Quick Look at Akita International University

Akita International University (AIU) is a four-year liberal arts university located in Akita prefecture in the Tohoku region of northern Japan. AIU was established in April 2004 as a public university corporation by the prefectural government of Akita. It offers bachelor's degrees in Global Business, Global Studies, and Global Connectivity Programs and master's degrees in Japanese Language Teaching, English Language Teaching, and Global Communication Practices. The undergraduate program at AIU offers all subject matter courses taught exclusively in English, the first program in Japan to do so. Foreign language courses in five languages, and Japanese for speakers of other languages, are offered in the target language. Non-native English-speaking students prepare to use English in the classroom through our intensive English for Academic Purposes Program (EAP). Student activities include 47 student clubs (as of AY 2022), community outreach, and local immersion activities. The 88% on-campus housing rate for Japanese and international students (*as of ordinary times: pre-COVID-19 pandemic) brings students from various backgrounds into direct contact and maximizes the benefit of international living and studying.
