On June 1st, 2023, I was invited to attend NAFSA’s Annual Conference and Expo and connected with international educators from a variety of countries. I mainly went to the conference to connect with Japan’s universities and after talking to several universities, I was able to discover 5 that I am most interested in going to. I am studying to become a veterinarian, which means that I need to major in biological or veterinary sciences. Most of the universities that I interacted with were liberal arts schools and did not offer degree programs in English for biological sciences. However, there are 5 universities — Hokkaido University, International Christian University, Sophia University, Tohoku University, and Tokyo Metropolitan University — that offer biological sciences degree programs in English. I was so excited to add these colleges to my list, especially since I want to study in Japan!
