While many other Japanese language programs will cost between $10,000 and $15,000 per semester, the KCP program costs $6,000 or less—about half the cost! Academic credit and financial aid are available through Western Washington University, and you should be able to apply federal and state financial aid to this program.
Compare KCP with other study abroad programs.

Travel to and from Japan and personal expenses including some culture class transportation are not included. Airfare varies depending upon the season of travel. Typically, round-trip fares between the U.S. and Japan range from $700 to $1,200. Participants should budget $1,500 to $2,500 per semester for all their meals and personal expenses.
To gain academic credit for your study abroad, apply for the KCP program through Western Washington University. Usually, it is not difficult to arrange transfer credit toward U.S. degrees, since KCP courses are offered at recognized institutions. However, it is the responsibility of your home institution to approve the amount of credit to transfer. At the end of the program, every participant receives an official university transcript. Course descriptions are available to help evaluate transfer credit.
