PSU-WASEDA Transnational Programs (WTP) runs year-long academic programs for international students at PSU. Tracks are offered in Business Administration, International Studies, and Health & Sustainability.These programs can serve as reverse study abroad or degree pathways. The one-year curriculum allows highly motivated international students with 440-526 TOEFL scores to immediately enroll in regular courses with local students. Students enrolled in the Transnational Programs are not restricted to regular ESL courses. The program is accelerated and therefore available to motivated and select students who meet certain criteria.
The WTP Office is results-centered for its students' success and provides an extremely high level of support to its students including: 24/7 on-call student services assistant, extracurricular volunteer placements, housing placement, academic advising, TOEFL preparation and cultural/daily living adjustment. The courses are taught by regular PSU faculty and language support specialists to ensure that students are successful and able to participate with native English speakers in the classroom.
