Hello everyone.
I've recently graduated, and my focus of study is Japan/Japanese History and Japanese language. My goal is to be a college professor in the area of history and focusing on Japan. Of course, that will be some time away! While I will be studying again in Japan, I am looking into graduate school in Japan in order to raise my language skills up and better prepare for graduate school in the United States.
Here is my general plan. A year study abroad at Yokohama which I have already been accepted. Afterwhich, graduate school in Japan. However, I most likely will have to sign up for JET to get more time studying the Japanese language to even stand a chance in a Japanese college. After finishing in Japan, apply for graduate school in the United States after handling the GRE test.
This is of course a general plan, but right now I'm trying to prepare and looking for how I would manage graduate school in Japan. I've spoken with my major advisor, and he mentioned monbusho scholarships for graduate studies. I've started to look for pamphlets, but of course my Japanese is limited so even checking into application is difficult as it will be a few years before I can even get close to this goal still.
So the question is this... where do I start and is there anyone who has gone this path and could give me some very much appreciated advice?
Thank you.
