TFU has four faculties, including nine departments, in Welfare, Healthcare, Education, and Management. Our mission as a university is to inquire deeply into the truth, developing widespread knowledge and specialized skills in our fields, and building meaningful relationships, with the ultimate aim of creating paths to well-being (happiness) for all humanity. Since its establishment, our university has been based on Buddhist thought, with "integration of learning and practice" at our philosophy's heart. Our goal is to help establish a proper welfare society by putting philosophy into practice and always striving to meet the times' demands. University education involves pursuing both self-interest and altruism—living for yourself means to live for others. Your well-being is enhanced as you seek the well-being of others, creating harmony between self-interest and altruism. We understand that self and others are inseparable, a concept based on a global world-view and global view of life. We take pride in our school as a place where young people can look to the future while focusing on present study and practice, foster meaningful human relationships, and gain the strength of will and energy to make a difference in our society. Tohoku Fukushi University applies all its educational resources to help you develop your academic skills and supports you in your development as an independent member of society. The university's Educational Ability cultivates the student's Academic Ability and Social Independence. Tohoku Fukushi University consistently strives to improve its academic ability and performance. At Tohoku Fukushi University, students' growing knowledge of theory in welfare, corporate activity, education, and medical service is strengthened and made real through practice. Tohoku Fukushi University makes most university-affiliated health and welfare facilities and works to cooperate with external groups and facilities. It fosters welfare-conscious students' development and cultivates their practical skills through training within the curriculum and students' dent efforts and extracurricular activities.

Our university aims at producing people with ambition, who are moved by the hardships of these troubled times and compelled by a spirit of benevolence, mercy, and fraternity to undertake the reform and advancement of society. To attain such a goal, mere scholarly pursuits or the desire for self-advancement would not be sufficient. Our university must be devoted to academic tradition and driven by a passionate love of humanity. Nihon Fukushi University is a university of social welfare deeply rooted in the local community with global aspirations. The university has eight faculties and four graduate schools across four campuses, striving to nurture welfare professionals supporting happy lives for all people from a wide range of fields such as "health and medical services," "welfare and economics," and "education and growth." There is a reason why we use the hiragana characters instead of the conventionally-used kanji characters for the word Fukushima (welfare) when we describe ourselves as a university of social welfare. While both kanji characters originally mean "happiness" when used individually, the term tends to be narrowly perceived to refer to socially vulnerable people. However, as the scope of welfare has expanded and the society is now required to ensure the realization of "normal" "living" and the "happiness" that comes with it for "everyone," the university uses the expression to signify its dedication to the cause. The Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, where the three campuses with faculties are located, is known as "the most energetic peninsula in Japan." It is an area rich in nature, with frequent industrial, community, and nonprofit activities. At each faculty and lectures on campus and learning in seminars, the emphasis is also placed on fieldwork that allows students to visit the local communities and learn practical skills from the residents and organizations. At Nihon Fukushi University, we look forward to seeing students' enrollment with the desire to support people's happiness and contribute to the future development of society by learning the knowledge, skills, and spirit of "welfare" through practical and hands-on experiences with the regional community. Among those universities offering four-year courses and specializing in social welfare, Nihon Fukushi University and the Faculty of Social Welfare have the most extended history, with the 2017 academic year celebrating its foundation's 60th anniversary. In commemoration of this, the Faculty of Sports Science was newly established on the Mihama campus, improving not only the educational facilities where health and sports training and seminars can be carried out but also the sports environment as official matches can now be played. 4 special courses and a scholarship entrance exam system were also implemented for the Faculty of Social Welfare. In the 2015 academic year, the Tokai campus, our third campus in the Chita Peninsula, was newly created by establishing the Faculty of Nursing and relocating the Faculty of Economics and Faculty of International Welfare Development from the Mihama campus. Besides, satellite campuses have been opened in Tokyo (Shimbashi), and Osaka (Nishikujo), where practical training and employment support can be provided for undergraduate students, and correspondence courses and graduate school classes can be conducted. We now total eight faculties, ten departments, and four graduate programs, with some 12,000 undergraduates and postgraduates spread over the Nagoya graduate school campus and university campuses in the northern (Tokai City), central (Handa City), and southern (Mihama Town) areas of the Chita Peninsula, along with satellite campuses in Tokyo and Osaka. With each campus as a core, the university takes on two roles: one being a Center of Community (COC) building a vibrant regional community and providing chi (knowledge) in the region to promote and enrich welfare, medical care, industry, and technology by making the best use of its unique cultural and natural assets and the other being a Center of Excellence (COE), an outstanding global base of chi (knowledge) building a compassionate welfare society. The Chita Peninsula, a truly "Glocal" (global and local) area with good land, sea, and an airport, is an environmental museum with a blend of industry, culture, and nature, a real treasure trove of chi (knowledge). This area offers optimal conditions for practical learning that considers global and regional changes. With this rich area as a base, we sincerely hope our students can refine these two kinds of chi (knowledge and community) and become self-motivated, innovative, and well-rounded Fukushima specialists with the world at their feet.
