GIS offers study abroad opportunities to the United States, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Students who meet GPA and host university English language requirements can take undergraduate courses together with the host university's own students. The GIS program also offers a study route that combines academic skills courses along with undergraduate courses.

One-semester option: Students can apply for one semester (four or five months) of study at one of five host universities in the second semester of their second year or the first semester of their third. Up to 20 credits toward the total of 124 needed for graduation from GIS can be acquired, and these credits can be combined with credits from other study abroad programs offered by Hosei University.

Two-semester option: A two-semester (ten-month) course of study is offered at Massey University, New Zealand. Students accepted for study can acquire up to 40 credits (20 credits per semester), with those credits counting toward the total number needed for graduation.

A record of academic achievement in GIS that shows the student is likely to succeed at study abroad, as well as GIS and host university permission to enroll, are required. To enroll in undergraduate courses, students must meet the host university's GPA (grade point average) and/or English language requirements.

Students will need to submit evidence of English proficiency (i.e., a TOEFL® or IELTS score). Additionally, a host university may conduct its own English proficiency test or may require a letter of reference from a GIS professor and grade transcripts.
 

On successful completion of study abroad, up to 20 credits (or up to 40 credits for the two-semester option at Massey University) can be counted toward the 124 credits required for graduation. All credits earned for undergraduate courses and up to 12 credits for foundation (academic preparatory) courses can be applied to GIS 200-level credit requirements.

The costs for study abroad are separate from the tuition for Hosei University. Those costs, including airfare to and from the host university and medical insurance, will be paid by the student.

GIS provides each student who participates in its study abroad program a one-time stipend of ¥500,000 for the one-semester option and ¥1,000,000 for the two-semester option at Massey University. Students who meet other academic requirements are eligible for an additional stipend of from ¥100,000 to ¥200,000 for the one-semester option and from ¥100,000 to ¥400,000 for the two-semester option.
