U.S. Universities Cancel Programs to Japan

In light of recent events in Japan, numerous U.S. universities have canceled their programs to Japan or relocated students who had begun their travels or studies. These schools include the University of California and California State University, Boston University, Notre Dame, George Washington and the University of Pittsburgh.

The main reason for these cancelations revolves around the safety of students. Many of the students were preparing to leave for their programs in late March. The universities will work with students to possibly refund programs and accommodate credit hours needed in order to graduate. The universities will also be monitoring the state of Japan in order to determine when their programs can begin to travel to Japan again.
