At Keio, exchange students must take a minimum of 7 classes per semester. Class Registration at Keio University is a bit different compared to UH Manoa. One key difference is the two registration periods at Keio, and students only have 30 hours to cancel a class after registration, compared to a few weeks at UH Manoa. Additionally, class registration at Keio works on a lottery basis, so even if you register for a class, there is no guarantee of securing a spot.
At Keio, you earn 2 credits per course, whereas at UH Manoa, you earn 3 credits per course. This means that in order to transfer credits back to UH Manoa, you would need to take 2 Keio courses to count as one UH course, or 3 to count as two. However, for Japanese language courses, they are 1 credit each but they are not transferable
The classes I chose for Fall 2023:
Integral Japanese 6 - There are 7 study levels of Japanese from basic to advanced. After taking the placement test, I was placed at level 6. The “integral” course focuses on enhancing grammar, vocabulary, and kanji skills, as well as improving reading and writing abilities through close-reading practices.
Money, Banking, and Finance B - As a finance major, I wanted to gain a deeper understanding about money, banking, and finance in general. The course is mostly about the theory and practice of monetary policy.
IFRS Basic - An intriguing course for an accounting major like myself, as it provides insights into international accounting standards (IFRS) which are not extensively covered at Shidler which focuses entirely on US GAAP. This course will allow me to learn about accounting practices from a global perspective, including the situation in Japan.
Japanese for Communication: Media - I personally wanted to stay informed about current events in Japan, in order to delve deeper into the complexities of Japanese society and engage in meaningful discussions about it.
Japanese for Communication: Business - Essential for mastering formal communication required in a business setting in Japan, this course also covers the use of honorifics (keigo) in professional interactions.
EU-Japan Economic Relations (transferable to Shidler) - This course focuses on the economic relations between EU and Japan, as well as some other Asian countries such as China. It will allow me to study more about the economies outside of the United States. Euro and Japanese yen (along with the US dollar) are amongst the top 3 most traded currencies.
Japanese Competition Policy (transferable to Shidler) - An intriguing course for an accounting major like myself, as it provides insights into international accounting standards (IFRS) which are not extensively covered at Shidler. This course will allow me to learn about accounting practices from a global perspective, including the situation in Japan.
Keio's fall semester of 2023 will begin on October 2nd.
