Its name, "Minsai," means cross-cultural interaction, and classes are capped at 20 students with a deliberately balanced nationality mix drawn from around 50 countries.
Its programs range from the Long-Term Course (up to 2 years) to an Academic/University Preparation Track (1 year up to 2 years, with several duration options), a Career/Business Track (up to 1 year), and a Short-Term Course (up to 3 months) for students who want a shorter first taste of studying in Japan.
