Japanese LanguageOur international students have the opportunity to reach a high level of proficiency in Japanese by the time they graduate, even if they join iCLA with little or no Japanese language ability. Courses are divided into three levels: Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. Our students are able to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture while discussing various cultural and social topics in Japanese.Data ScienceTo create a more informed, advanced and equitable society, tomorrow’s leaders must be trained in understanding, assimilating, interpreting and communicating information within the medium of data. With an emphasis on enhancing the knowledge students acquire in their major areas of studies, students can gain practical know-how of statistical data, programming and analytic methods. The Data Science module first facilitates students’ understanding of various data forms, then teaches them to communicate meaning via the skills of data visualization, summarizing and the critical analysis of data patterns. Students who wish to pursue a career or higher degree in data science can enroll in our advanced courses in machine learning and deep learning. The field of data science is fuel for the 21st century, allowing those informed to access a lucrative career and directly participate in changing the world.Quantitative Reasoning & Natural?SciencesIn conjunction with our Data Science module, these courses nurture scientific inquiry and Quantitative Reasoning to provide the mathematical background required for programming. Our courses in Mathematics emphasize the development of mathematical and quantitative reasoning skills. Students gain an understanding of fundamental, numerical, and quantitative skills and their application to everyday life. The focus will be on applying basic mathematical concepts to solve real-world problems, and to develop skills in interpreting and working with data in order that students become able to function effectively as professionals and engaged citizens. The course on Earth Science examines planet earth, its nature in terms of its interactions and exchanges between atmosphere, land, living things and physical laws.Sociology & PsychologyAn important supplement to many of our majors, these courses aim to develop students’ understanding of human behavior and motivation, social and cultural identity, and individual development and interactions with societies and culture.?In those courses, students examine evidence and factors that influence behavior to form conclusions about social phenomena.
