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.
In the first week of class, you choose from three grading options: Grade (four-point scale), Pass/Fail, or Audit. Students who choose the Audit option participate fully in the course but do not earn academic credit.
