Goals
Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences (TUPL) wanted to create an international opportunity for its students. The goal was to:

  • improve their English
  • increase their understanding of American culture
  • introduce them to an American university's approach to studying and researching life sciences
Solution
Bring 30-35 students annually to a short-term study program that incorporates the three elements TUPL wanted. Coordinate this with Seibu Travel Service (Japan).
