Academic Credit
Earn credit for Japanese language immersion.
Idaho State University has approved for academic credit courses taught at KCP International Japanese Language School. You can earn one year or more of language credit (either semester or quarter) each KCP semester term.
For students who have completed the KCP program, if you would like to receive a transcript, please see: Idaho State University transcript policy.
KCP courses have been approved for credit by this university but it is up to each student to determine transferability of credit by your home school before you attend the program.
Incidentals:
- Extended term is two KCP semesters; academic year is three KCP semesters. Japanese Language course credit is awarded based on the multiple of terms. For more, see Terms of Study.
- The Japanese Culture and Civilization course is offered only during a student’s first term of study.
In the first week of class, you choose from three grading options: Grade (four-point scale), Pass/Fail, or Audit. For most study-abroad and transfer credits, choosing “Grade” will not affect a student’s cumulative GPA. Students choosing “Audit” will fully participate in the course but do not earn academic credit.

Testimonials
Hang out with your new foreign friends outside of class. Try to experience as much as you can of Japan; don’t worry too much about just studying, especially if you will only be here for a term or two.
