THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
Message from the Director
The Center for International Programs strives to bring our students closer to other cultures, thereby encouraging understanding and acceptance of others. Our faculty and staff highly encourage those who study at St. Margaret's to become independent thinkers and to be unafraid of looking beyond in order to reaffirm their identities.
Message for Prospective Exchange Students
Our small college also welcomes students and faculty members from our sister schools abroad. We take a personal interest in those wishing to visit St. Margaret's. Please feel free to explore our website. For any inquiries please contact our office, where our helpful and supportive staff will assist you.
Various Activities
We provide a range of offerings, including summer and spring intensive English programs overseas, international exchange camps in Asia, and reception of overseas guests and students.The Center also sponsors a volunteer circle named International Friends. International Friends occasionally invites foreign exchange students living in Japan to informal talks with members.
