The university was founded in 1966.
The university opened with a Department of Japanese Literature and a Department of English Literature in the Faculty of Liberal Arts, and a Department of Economics in the Faculty of Economics.
With each new era since, the university has expanded its potential as a center for learning.
It has now grown into a university with five campuses
in Itabashi, Hachioji, Utsunomiya, Fukuoka, and Kasumigaseki.
“One’s way” refers to a life philosophy whereby one finds their purpose or interests and learns the knowledge and skills to maximize their own unique individuality to their advantage. One assumes full responsibility for the consequences of their actions. We offer our support to encourage students to learn to live their lives ‘their way.’
Practical learning that helps students master logical thinking skills through real-world experience.
International perspectives that help students learn how to understand and experience other cultures.
Open mindedness that helps students learn a balanced mix of knowledge and skills that are necessary for their future.
Despite signs of economic stability in Japan and abroad, the world has not yet managed to eliminate the growing structural problems in politics, society, and race relations.
The educational philosophy of “One’s way” and the specific educational guidelines of "Practical learning, International perspectives, and Open mindedness" have been established for each department and faculty.
The university's emblem and school song represent the School Philosophy embodied by the Educational Guidelines of "Practical learning," "International perspectives," and "Open mindedness," thereby actively promoting them to society.
It all started with the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Liberal Arts. We have since grown into a comprehensive university.
While continuing to grow as a comprehensive university, we are creating an environment where each individual can self-improve.
