Religion in Japan, and Japanese Art. Instruction is in English for most classes, and
Japanese is taught at all levels. Exchange programs allow RU students to study abroad
while paying RU tuition. Hours earned are treated as if completed at RU for both program
completion purposes and financial aid. Students must complete an RU Study Abroad Registration
and Course Approval form outlining courses to be taken and approved before leaving
to study abroad. Grade values are assigned as pass/fail and the awarding of specific
