Cyber University was founded in April 2007 as Japan's first fully online university. Students can receive higher education in cyberspace on the Internet without the inconvenience of commuting. The university, authorized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, is operated by Japan Cyber Educational Institute, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SoftBank Corporation. Cyber University provides a diverse student body with learning opportunities through communication media. Our objective is to develop competent people equipped with academic strength and broad-ranging knowledge to be part of the workforce that forms the nation and society. Our mission is to contribute to the advancement of humankind and culture. Cyber University offers many people willing to learn with an opportunity to acquire extensive, high-quality education without the constraints of location, time, unique environment, or situation, and strives to nurture capable personnel who will form tomorrow's society. Since our curriculums are offered completely on-demand, students can take classes anytime they want. All class contents and the learning management system are cloud-based and accessible from various data communication devices, such as personal computers and mobile phones. Students can also synchronize their attendance records as needed. As long as they have Internet access, students can study anytime, anywhere. Another feature of Cyber University is its open admission system. We do not conduct entrance examinations to select our students. We will admit anyone with the necessary qualifications, such as a high school diploma or equivalent standard; all you need is an environment to study online and motivation to learn. Cyber University does not evaluate your academic ability when applying our stress is the effort you make and what you achieve while in school. But the most important thing is your motivation. In the 21st century, society and industry are changing at a furious pace, driven by information technologies' innovation. Skills and experiences obtained at school or work often prove insufficient to open new opportunities for the future. In that case, how do we equip ourselves to clear obstacles and succeed in today's evolving world? Among the most effective ways are to re-educate yourself and to update your knowledge. Cyber University supports people busy at work and other daily activities to systematically obtain specialized knowledge, improve their communication skills not only in Japanese but also in other languages, and cultivate their ability to cope with a rapidly changing society. For new high school graduates looking for a step up to go successfully out into the world, we offer various curriculums to help them develop value-added skills and long-term internship programs not bound by a conventional university framework. All curriculums are provided through the university network that connects teachers and classmates. Cyber University is open to all people, in all parts of the world, who wish to improve their skills and play active roles in today's ever-changing society. Cyber University has introduced state-of-the-art e-learning technologies, the Cloud Campus. Students can attend classes not only from PC but also with their iPhone or iPad. The system can also be used to make presentations or engage in discussions on the web. The entire learning environment has been built with advanced technologies. Information technologies have advanced rapidly in recent years, while business models continue to change in keeping with rapid technological evolution. In the IT business's front line exposed to such rapid changes, persons combining technical expertise and related business skills who can comprehensively understand emerging events and can flexibly deal with new situations are in high demand.
