*Students will take a Japanese language exam, prior to attending Aoyama Gakuin, to be placed in a corresponding course/level based on the score of their exam. Please be aware you could be placed in a course you have already taken at WSU. Students who do not score a JLPT N4 level score on the exam, will be placed in non-credited Japanese language courses(not listed below). Students who score JLPT N4 level or higher will be placed in one of the corresponding courses below (credited Japanese courses). Typically, students will need to have taken through intermediate level at WSU to be placed in a credited language course at AGU.
