Xavier, MCT, UWI Exchange Students Enter Sophia University & Graduate School

On September 21st 2023, Ms. Yuri Hosei (8th term Xavier exchange student) of Palau, Ms. Isabella Kostka (8th term APIC-MCT exchange student) of Federated States of Micronesia, and Mr. Paul Charley Jr. (7th term APIC-MCT exchange student) of Federated States of Micronesia entered Sophia University. Yuri and Isabella entered the undergraduate program, and Paul entered the graduate program at Sophia. Additionally, Ms. Nikita Kunar of UWI Cave Hill Campus in Barbados entered Sophia University Graduate School as the first student to take part in the newly established UWI Master’s Exchange Student Program.

Isabella is matriculating in the Faculty of Global Studies, while Yuri is matriculating in the Faculty of Humanities in the SPSF (Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures) program, which is conducted in English. They will spend the next four years pursuing their bachelor’s degree in their respective majors.

Paul and Nikita are both matriculating in Sophia University Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies and plan to spend the following two years pursuing their master’s degree.

“The Xavier Exchange Student Support Program” was started in April 2014 between APIC and Sophia University, stemming from the Sophia-APIC Xavier High School Exchange Student Scholarship. The program among Sophia University, APIC, and Xavier High School appoints exchange students from Xavier to Sophia University under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the three members. To date, six students have completed their studies and graduated Sophia University through this exchange program.

“The APIC-MCT Exchange Student Scholarship Program” was created upon the agreement of APIC, Sophia University, and MCT; the program focuses on the development of human resources from the perspective of environmental conservation. This graduate program enrolls students from the three nations of the Micronesia area into Sophia University Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies to obtain their master’s degree in said field. From the program’s establishment in 2017, nine students have graduated and currently two students are matriculating, spending their days researching their respective topics.
