American universities in Japan?

I was wondering if anyone knows of any American universities in Japan.  I know of Temple, is it the only one?  Thank you in advance.

McGill’s Canadian, not American - though they like to promote themselves as "North American"

Anaheim is an American University and they dont have a campus here in Tokyo but they do have a learning center and you can study online while keeping your job  here in Japan. I am?@in the one year MBA and am finding it challenging and an excellent learning experience. The Profs are from many of the top Univesities in the world and are all working people. The cost of the program is reasonable and the job placement system seems to work well because Japanese companies are always head hunting my fellow students.

Yes, the Anaheim program is one of the top online MBAs companies such as IBM, Sanyo etc have special global learning partner agreements with the university and if you get you are an employee of such a large company you will most likely get a discount on tuition. It is worth checking it out. I have talked to students at the recent seminar in Tokyo featuring NTT Docomo founding President Oboshi. They all seem to love it and one of the grads from IBM said the program is excellent and interactive. The tuition is just under 1 million. I think it is listed at www.anaheim.edu they also have seminars that they randomly list on their home page I dont really understand their page though it is kind of too busy and hard to navigate.

I too have heard from students that the program is excellent. It is one of the fastest growing universities in the U.S. and their faculty in many of their programs are second to none. I am attending their orientation meeting next month and will post more when I find out the details of the pricing. I have heard that it is under a million and that is what
the website says but there may be additional costs for
extensions beyond one year and I am wondering how much
those could turn out to be.

There are a number of American University programs that opened in the 1980’s but most of them left Japan and are now trying to recruit the student in China. I have reviewed a number of schools in Japan including Temple University www.temple.ac.jp and Anaheim University www.anaheim.edu  as well as some other programs that claim to be American like McGill which is really Canadian. I would say that they all have their strong and weak points.
I have decided to enroll in Anaheim for one reason that is the Faculty are in the U.S. Because it is online they can recruit faculty in the U.S. The other schools I mentioned have to use U.S. Faculty living in Japan and there is only the very small number of good American Professor in Japan.
