I’m interested in transferring to a university in Japan, particularly for an undergraduate business/economics program going into 3rd year. Tokyo is my preferred location, but I’m open to other cities as well.
However, I’m having trouble finding universities that accept transfer students with an associate’s degree. So far, I’ve found that Sophia University accepts transfer students with an associate’s degree, but I’m unsure about other options since they narrow down to schools like Temple University.
My goal is to make the most of my A.A. in Business and continue my education in Japan. If that’s not feasible, I’d appreciate any advice on potential opportunities for studying in Japan with sponsorship from a U.S. institution, ideally for an extended duration rather than just a single semester. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is a waste of money. Are you fluent in Japanese?
I don’t know of any transfer opportunities but I studied abroad through an exchange abroad program at a University of California school and there were a handful of full year long programs. I also met a bunch of students from other colleges that also were on exchange programs so it may be worth checking out your local schools.
To be honest, I chose a semester program since finding enough classes in Japan that A) count towards my degree and B) I satisfy the prerequisites for was a bit of a challenge for me but it probably depends on what upper level electives you need. I know plenty of people who went for a full year!
