Programs that take place in Japan are subsidized through generous funding provided by the Japanese government.
Upon successful completion of the program requirements, students will receive an official Cross-Cultural College Certificate issued by Kwansei Gakuin University.

Tuition and Financial Assistance
Tuition
The Global Career Seminar and Global Internship are both 3.0 credit courses at KGU and individually are considered equivalent to a 3.0 unit course at 成人大片. Queen鈥檚 University students pay standard tuition fees to Queen鈥檚 for the courses taken through the KGU CCC, in accordance with fees that are posted on the Office of the University Registrar website. Students are assessed tuition according to their home faculty/school. Please visit for details. Students may decide to drop one of their 3.0 unit Winter term courses in order to count the Global Career Seminar (Canada) course as one of their Winter term courses.
