The meeting introduced the American University Ritsumeikan University Sakura Scholars Program, a four-year joint undergraduate degree in Global International Relations that allows students to experience both American and Japanese academic systems while earning a single diploma. The program structure was detailed, including academic requirements, internship opportunities, and financial considerations, with students paying American University tuition for all four years while studying at both institutions. The discussion covered practical aspects such as housing options, transportation, and cultural adaptation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a cohort of 25 students and encouraging full immersion in the program's offerings.
