Temple University, Japan Campus

I took a class at TUJ Continuing Education and was impressed by the experience of the instructor. I was able to apply the skills learned immediately at my company. I highly recommend this Continuing Education program to other professionals in Tokyo looking to advance their careers.

本日キャンパス見学に行かせて頂きましたがとても親切、丁寧に大学の説明をして頂きその後キャンパスを隅々まで案内して頂きました。先生、生徒さんの方々もとてもフレンドリーで有意義な時間を過ごさせて頂きました。国際色豊かでとても素敵な大学でした。ありがとうございました。

ここに３年間通っていましたが、やめてアメリカの大学へ編入しました。ＴＵＪは"英語に流暢だけど知能は終わってる人"には向いているかもしれませんが、そのほかの人は絶対にやめたほうが良いです。"英語ができて勉強もできる"なら奨学金をもらってアメリカの大学にＴＵＪに通うより安く通えるでしょう。"英語が不得意"ならＴＵＪのＥＳＬは控えめに言ってゴミなのでやめたほうが良いと思います。私は殆ど英語力は伸びませんでした。
私は高校まで全般的に勉強は得意で英語も普通の日本人よりは得意でしたが、ここの大学では過半数の授業で単位を落としました。授業内容はＦラン大そのものですが、私の英語力が及ばず授業についていけない、授業外で教授に質問しても質問の意図が伝わりづらい、伝わっても返事が何言ってるかわからない、そんな状態でした。卒業は無理だと思いアメリカの大学に編入しましたが、朝から晩まで英語に囲まれて生活するのでぐんぐん英語力が伸び、またアメリカの大学の授業はＴＵＪと違い当然ほとんどの学生がアメリカ人なので、英語のディスカッション能力もあれよあれよと伸びました。
繰り返しになりますが、ＴＵＪは”英語こそできるけど知能はＦラン”、そういう人以外はやめたほうが良いです。

ESLクラスからMBAのプレクラスまでそろっている。生涯学習コースは社会人が受講しております。キャンパスが南麻布から移転して設備がきれいになりました。図書館は美術や建築の洋書も多く、勉強するのに良い環境です。

小ぶりながら一揃いの大学機能と施設があって、外国人学生も多く、入り口の警備員さんとのやりとり以外は全部英語です。コロナ禍ですし、海外の学校に留学したかった人は、ここでよいかと。校舎は建てかわったばかりでとても綺麗です。英文書籍を豊富に備えた図書館もあります使ったことはないですが、敷地内にプールもあるようです。先生方は基本的に米国人です (アメリカの大学なので当たり前ですが) 。いまは対面授業も再開しています (少なくとも社会人コースは) 。

I went to TUJ for my final two years of undergrad and was VP of Student Government. My entire experience was great except for, ironically, the Japanese program, which in my opinion does not take into account the difference between Japanese and American learning methods and styles. As for the rest of it, you get out of it what you put into it, much like any other endeavor. Some programs are clearly funded better than others; again, that's no shock. The support systems in place are largely effective, although the Financial Aid rep on-site left a lot to be desired. I do miss Tokyo.

Not bad but at the same time has room for improvement. New campus is nice, some of the classes are really regulated by main campus which makes things a little more difficult from my experience. Lots of diversity and a good social experience as well as studying. More pros than cons in my opinion.

TUJ provides a great opportunity to earn a few undergraduate degrees in Japan, like the other reviews the campus is for the time being only limited to 2 office buildings that they only own 6/12 floors of, I hope the new campus will incentivize the hiring of more professors for more degree programs. But don’t hold your breath. Really do your research, and choose the right professors before registering for classes.

TOEFL iBTを受験しました。
古くも新しくもない普通のキャンパスビルです。

入り口には会社名がデカデカと書かれていますが、エレベーターで大学構内に入れます。

この大学の前をしょっちゅう自転車で通り、横にあるセブンイレブンで買い物するが、このテンプル大学ってどういう大学なのか全くわからない。白人が多く、アジア系の若者もよく見る。アメリカ人相手の日本での出先機関大学なのか？日本人相手のアメリカ大学が日本出張してきているのか分かりません？
自分は年寄りだが、若ければ母校明治大学よりアメリカの大学を卒業した方がよっぽど役に立つと思う今日この頃。

I was attending here for two years and transferred because this University is really does not worth the money. ESL program is broken. My class, we had 10 students and only two students passed the class. (Not only my class) Professors are making it so complicated even they don’t know what they’re doing. They let students fail to suck out money. Also they have only few majors and classes. Small campus and theres not enough sheets in cafeteria.

I was an assistant of a now former TUJ professor while I was a student here.

I'd give them negative 5 if I can.

To be frank, for the most part TUJ was great but sadly the good does not outweigh the bad.

Backstory, I have a pretty bad disability which I have registered to the office of disabilities and have given the letter to each of my teachers. Personally, in addition to this I talk to each for my teachers individually about their class and the what I will face.

On multiple occasions I have been graded poorly despite the teachers saying my registered disability will not be a issue. But one teacher stands out above all others in this situation.

Professor Mock. I followed the steps I have to take every semester perfectly and I talked to him before the first class about my disability. He told me he never grades on people talking in class only on if they are there and paying attention. I was there every single class, first row, taking notes, never missed an assignment, and was never late. So, I was shock to see that he failed me in "class participation. " When asked to clarify this, he didn't respond to me for 4 weeks so I asked again to which he told me that my presents in class was "neutral" and that I was being ridiculous and sent me to the Dean. Who apparently is not the correct person to send me to. When I got to the correct person about changing unfair grades they held a meeting and decided that my grade (despite my disability) was fair but he grading was not.

Meaning for ever other student after that point they would not be graded like my class yet I am stuck with a failing grade despite it being voted an unfair system and going against my disability that I was told will be a problem.

If you are considering working towards an undergraduate degree through an English speaking program in Japan, I recommend that you at least exhaustively investigate all options. TUJ boasts a complicated and broad mission that requires them to cater to a host of specific student needs. They do this to the best of their ability. Yet, I think you should apply only after you have convinced yourself, through critical research, that no other university offers what you want from TUJ.

TUJ does my University exam invigilation and this they do well. This is the only service I use at TUJ. Campus is small but centrally located so it is accessible. Cant attest to the quality if their programs as I do not partake so I will not speak of it.
