A global education is meant to take you places.
At Soka, we prepare you to engage with the world by sending you into it. Every undergraduate student spends a semester immersed in another culture, deepening language skills, gaining new perspectives, and learning to build relationships with courage and compassion.
Language study that opens your world before you ever leave campus.
From your very first year at Soka, language and culture are central to your experience. You’ll build the skills and the mindset needed to engage meaningfully across borders.
• By taking four courses in your first two years, you build proficiency in your chosen non-native language.
• Through regular pre-departure meetings with your study abroad advisor, you strengthen your skills and confidence.
• Full-time study at a university abroad, often alongside native speakers, immerses you in the local community.
• Coursework abroad is graded and counts toward your GPA, challenging you to grow academically and become fluent in your new language.
• SUA-coordinated housing gives you a stable home base for your adventures abroad.
