Fukuhara Gakuen was established in 1947. Since its establishment, the institution now has three universities, one high school, and three kindergartens at the forefront of providing quality education in a fast-changing era and high social demand while fulfilling the region's educational needs. Recognizing the change in society's perspective on women and the impact of globalization, Fukuhara Gakuen strives to provide a well-rounded education for women allowing access into a competitive workforce still trying to achieve gender equality. In response to the need, apart from lectures, experiments, practical training, an internship program, the institution continues to improve upon its hard and soft infrastructure. In April 2016, the institution opened a new campus, "Korean." The campus's ability to freely change the internal layout is based on an Active Learning Studio concept. The campus has a nursery room, a traditional tea room for manners and etiquette classes. The institution also strives to enhance the student's overall communication and problem-solving skills. Fukuhara Gakuen will continue to uphold its motto nurturing [Strong yet gentle woman = Kyushu Women'sWomen's University graduate]. We seek to nurture healthy and yet gentlewomen and act under the guidance of their judgment and sense of responsibility, following the rules they have set up for themselves. In a free atmosphere, we provide primary and specialized education that is systematic and attentive to detail. This education is useful in society and helps the students to obtain various licenses. We train students so that they may have broad and specialized knowledge and also communication skills. We also have an advisor system whereby each teacher is in charge of a small number of students. We aim to teach students to develop their strengths and abilities. In addition, we aim to provide helpful service related to the registering of students' credits, student life, studying abroad, and assistance for job-hunting by the Student Affairs Office. We actively accept members of the local community who wish to study while working, wish to study again, and wish to have life-long education. We aim to develop an educational program that is enjoyable, rich, and useful also students continuingly in their daily lives. Furthermore, we facilitate collaboration with companies of the local community to help our students' careers. We accept excellent international students from sister universities and inculcate in them the university's educational concepts to help them become independent refined women who contribute to society. We also encourage students to study abroad so that they may develop an international outlook. Furthermore, we aim to provide an academic environment in which students can interact and exchange ideas with international students to understand various cultures. Teachers can interact and exchange ideas in their research fields. -
Miyagi Gakuin Women's University has a history of over 130 years. It started as Miyagi Girls' School, founded by OSHIKAWA Masayoshi of the Church of Christ in Japan, with missionary William Edwin HOI's missionary. The Girls' School was expanded into a high school and chartered as a private university in 1949. Miyagi Gakuin today comprises a daycare preschool, junior high school, senior high school, university, and graduate school. Today, the university has four faculties (Faculty of Contemporary Business, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Human Life Sciences, Faculty of Arts) with nine departments, and two graduate schools (Research School in the Humanities, Research School in Health and Nutrition The total number of students is about 3,000, and the overall student to teacher ratio is between 25 to 30 students. Education at Miyagi Gakuin Women's University is based on the spirit of Evangelical Christianity, to educate women to fear God, to seek truth with both freedom and humility, to respect all people on the principle of loving all our neighbors, and to work for the better welfare of all humans and to contribute to world peace. The environment surrounding universities is becoming increasingly diverse and complicated. Accordingly, the social role of education and research is also becoming more critical. Miyagi Gakuin Women's University responds to these social needs through its education and research, conducted in line with the university's founding principles. We aim to educate members of society to have a broad understanding of both culture and society. The principles of freedom of education and research and the guarantee of self-determination for educators and researchers must be maintained, but to maintain these principles, educators and researchers are required to maintain the highest standards of moral principles and conduct in their work. We at Miyagi Gakuin Women's University will do everything possible to gain society's trust and respect through our education and research. There are many student activity circles at MGU, catering to a wide variety of people. There are 20 sports circles, 19 circles for cultural activities, and nine circles which either do non-competitive sports or hobbies. MGU also has a Liaison Action Center (MG-LAC) to promote, coordinate, and provide appropriate student volunteer support. MGU was first among the universities in Sendai to set up such an office after the tsunami and earthquake of March 2011. MG-LAC provides interested students with the opportunity to identify problems in the society around them and to discover productive ways of helping other people find solutions to these problems. University faculty and staff provide advice and guidance as needed. MG-LAC plays a vital role in the university's commitment to training students who can play an active and leading role in building local society. MGU welcomes young women who want to study in the vocational and liberal arts courses that we offer to develop their careers and further their personal development. To qualify for admission as international students, applicants must have completed a total of 12 years of school education, be of non-Japanese citizenship, and be 18 years or older by 31st March of the year of entry into university. Applicants whose first language is not English must have studied English as a foreign language during high school. -
Kyoto Women's University is committed to the pursuit of personal development. The university is located in Kyoto, a city that blends tradition with modernity while boasting an unequaled wealth of history and culture. It is this enterprising spirit that also underlies the founding philosophy of Kyoto Women's University. Over more than 100 years since its establishment in 1910, Kyoto Women's University has taken root in Kyoto and has developed a close bond with local citizens. To promote personal development, our university places high importance on the Buddhist philosophy advocated by Shinran Shonin, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu school of Buddhism. We have earned a high reputation as an academic institution focused on personal development, and we will continue to contribute to society while taking pride in our educational tradition. The founding philosophy and educational goals of Kyoto Joshi Gakuen (Kyoto Women's Educational Institution) are based on Buddhist principles espoused by a Japanese monk named Shinran Shonin (1173-1263). These principles advocate the fostering of human spirituality through learning and enhanced sensitivity towards the lives of others. The humanistic principles presented by Shinran Shonin involve nurturing intelligence and pure sentiments alongside a deep awareness of one's imperfect nature—in the process, cultivating equal love and compassion for all living things. The ultimate truth revealed by Buddha, the enlightened one, teaches us that this is the correct path human beings should follow. According to Buddhist teachings, humans must overcome self-attachment, perceive the foolishness of egocentric passions, recognize their shallowness, and rid themselves of such distorted notions. Shinran Shonin's teachings were derived from Buddhism, but he did more than clarify the Buddhist path. He became intensely aware of his shortcomings, admitted them, and demonstrated that even the ignorant could obtain the Buddhist spirit. However, it is not in matters of spirituality alone that human endeavor is essential. It is also equally important to apply our unstinting efforts to the pursuit of knowledge in an educational context. In such pursuits, we should not rely solely on our efforts. Nor should we focus our energies on doing good deeds through "self-power" alone. If we are excessively self-reliant and self-focused, distortions can occur. The path to correcting such distortions requires the realization of one's egoism. Realizing one's shortcomings requires a deep spiritual awareness. We can only be humble when we reflect upon ourselves. This is how we come to realize the infinite presence that envelops all of our efforts and gives us power. They learn how to live and grow with others while realizing that all life is equal. This is the origin of humanistic teaching and the foundation of our educational philosophy. Today, Kyoto is home to several companies that lead the world in state-of-the-art technologies, reflecting a fusion between tradition and technological innovation. Kyoto is a cosmopolitan city that attracts people from all over the world. This enhances students' learning environment further, as we see our numerous graduates go on to achieve success in their chosen fields. We will continue to provide education programs based on our traditional values and meet the needs of today's society. And we remain committed to fostering women who can play an active role in the future. -
Since the founding of the Kyoritsu Women's Occupational Institute in 1886, we have maintained our primary goal of supporting women's self-reliance. In line with this educational philosophy, we continue to improve the educational environment: smoothing registration procedures, providing a unified liberal arts program in all faculties and departments, and promoting specialized professional education. Bearing in mind our founding principle of self-reliance, we have always had a clear vision of the type of education we wish to provide and the types of graduates we hope to produce. Via a well-thought-out curriculum and ever-improving course content and teaching, we see these aims realized. We also offer significant financial assistance and career advice to our students. The demographic challenge of our times has its influence on higher education. Hereafter we must maintain a stable financial base for the university system, promote communication between our students and all who have a stake in the university's role, and preserve our rightful place as a progressive social institution. Kyoritsu Women's University consists of four faculties: Home Economics, Arts and Letters, International Studies, and Nursing. Kyoritsu Women's Junior College consists of two departments: The science of Living and Language and Literature. We have about five thousand at the university and about five hundred at the junior college. Although our urban campus area is limited, we have active faculty members who cover broad academic fields in the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities. Our campus is situated in the center of Tokyo, just between the Imperial Palace and the world-famous secondhand-bookstore town of Jimbocho, a few minutes' walk from each. It is an invigorating place to study and reflect on Japan and the ancient and modern world. With the development of information technology, the world is getting smaller and smaller. We are required to be good citizens of the countries we belong to and the world, and that is the meaning of being international. To be international is to have an international mind. But it is our experience that develops our minds. We are aiming to further friendship and understanding with foreign countries through practical actions and academic studies. We hope our university system will be known worldwide as one of the most excellent women's educational institutions. -
Since its founding in 1920, Konan Women's Academy has supported women's educational endeavors in the spirit of fostering humane individuals. Having celebrated its 54th anniversary, Konan Women's University continues to support the higher education of women with a well-rounded and progressive liberal arts education. Our school motto, "Be truthful, be just, be kind, and be strong," serves as the foundation for developing learner potential at our university. Skillful communication (be truthful), a sense of fairness (be), a healthy mind that embraces diversity (be kind), and the ability to survive in an increasingly complex world (be strong) is at the heart of our educational objectives. Our approach to achieving these fundamental objectives is to educate the whole person, respect individuality, and embrace learning with an independent and creative spirit. Professional knowledge and training in tandem with a solid liberal arts education are seen as essential for "educating the whole person." Respect for individuality and learning with an independent mind and creative spirit serve as guiding principles. Our educational practices encourage independent study and critical thinking and practical knowledge and skills within a scientific inquiry spirit. To nurture this, our students are engaged in learning where minds are stimulated to think, criticize, and express freely. This "active learning" is essential for improving the quality of education at our institution. In response to social changes in recent years, we have set up faculties and departments that allow graduates to earn professional qualifications that serve the needs of a rapidly changing society, such as our Faculty of Nursing and Rehabilitation and the Department of Childhood Development and Education. Our university currently houses four faculties with eleven departments and two graduate schools. These include the Faculty of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Nursing and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Letters, Faculty of Human Sciences, the Graduate School of Nursing, and the Graduate School of Humanities and Human Sciences. We see our mission as supporting the education of professional women who possess a keen awareness of culture, the spirit of contributing to society, and a strong drive to realize their goals. In two years, Konan Women's Academy will mark its 100th anniversary. We will continue to support student engagement with the learning process from admission until graduation and foster women who are active in society and contribute to local communities, the region, and the larger international community. Continual efforts will be made to adapt to contemporary students' educational needs and strive for recognition as a hub for developing new areas in educational practice in higher education for women into the next 100 years. To cultivate women with a strong desire to serve society, equipped with grace and a cosmopolitan spirit, based on our founding principles: To foster solid specialist knowledge built on humanistic values and common sense and cultivate a firm foundation for actively contributing to society. To cultivate compassion that enables genuine commitment to the service of others. To cultivate independence and creativity through self-dependent study and critical thinking and practical knowledge, skills, judgment, and a spirit of scientific inquiry. -

Jissen Women's Educational Institute is the umbrella organization covering Jissen Women's University, Jissen Women's Junior College, and Jissen Joshi Gakuen Junior and Senior High Schools. Here we introduce necessary information about Jissen Women's Educational Institute. Jissen Women's University was founded in 1899 by Utako Shimoda, a pioneer in Japanese women's education. At a time of relative social inequality for women, Shimoda was deeply knowledgeable about aspects of Japanese culture that ranged from waka poems to classical literature and had a broad knowledge of home economics encompassing food, clothing, and shelter. The very embodiment of jissen (taking action), she operated on a forward-thinking set of ideals developed while studying in the USA and Europe. Her opportunity to make a difference began in 1893 when she traveled to Europe and America to observe the state of advanced education for women. This experience taught her the necessity of general education for women and developed a strong interest in building a private women's school to achieve this goal. This ambition took shape in the Jissen Girls' School and Jissen Girls' Polytechnic, the forerunners of Jissen Women's University. Guided by the conviction that "women would change society and change the world," Shimoda provided her students with knowledge and skills through state-of-the-art academic learning to give women the practical capabilities needed to survive in the world. This belief runs through the university and is embodied in the university's philosophy: "developing dignified and refined women capable of standing and working on their own." The year 2019 will mark 120 years since the university's founding. As we move closer to this milestone, we have adopted a two-campus structure that consists of the Hino campus and the Shibuya campus, which was completed in 2014 with state-of-the-art equipment. The Hino campus has also seen its learning environment upgraded with a multipurpose third building and improvements to laboratories and training rooms in the main building and elsewhere. Located close to many cultural facilities and a hub for active exchange with other universities and companies, the Shibuya campus is home to the university's Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Jissen Women's Junior College. The spacious Hino campus offers a range of learning opportunities under the Faculty of Human Life Sciences. With our tangible infrastructure in place, we are now upgrading our intangible infrastructure—our curriculum—in line with the times' needs. One example is the active learning method, which has students think and act independently and provides more in-depth learning through repeated experiences and discoveries. This fosters confidence and the drive to take on challenges, helping students acquire the abilities to achieve future success. We are also revising our core curriculum and have begun offering minors in all faculties. These efforts help students acquire a well-balanced essential academic skillset alongside rich and advanced expertise. Since its founding, Jissen Women's University has focused on cultivating intelligent women of good character who can impact. As society increasingly looks to women to perform in every sphere of life, we aim to prepare these future leaders by developing an enterprising spirit and the drive to take action. All members of the faculty work together to provide meaningful learning and well-rounded student life. We hope our students will continually ask themselves what they want for their futures as they take advantage of the high-quality environments at our campuses to make great strides in learning and achieving personal growth. -
We support every student in establishing their identity as women in today's world. Since its establishment in 1901, Japan Women's University has been at the vanguard of women's education in Japan, based on the ideal of our founder, Jinzo Naruse, that women should be 'educated first and foremost as human beings' (Women's Education). When inequality between men and women was still taken for granted in both Japan and Western countries, Naruse promoted the education of women as equals to men. He wished to free women from outdated modes of thinking towards a new awareness and pride in themselves as women and citizens of the world. From the early days of social inequality, we have produced pioneers in various disciplines, offering comprehensive education in the university's four main Faculties of Home Economics, Humanities, Integrated Arts and Social Sciences, and Science. We were also one of the first universities to establish a graduate school, whose alumnae have been active in many fields. Students acquire the founder's three principles of 'true conviction,' 'creativity' and 'cooperation and service,' which support them in their lives after graduation, whether in society or the home. We will continue to value the traditional aims of the university: To give broad knowledge, instruct and study specialized liberal arts in-depth, cultivate the ability to apply knowledge, and work on perfection of personality to foster the members of a peaceful state and society and improve the educational research level to this end. (Articles 1 and 2 of the university's regulations). We are also striving to provide educational, research, and other social opportunities that will produce women capable of leadership and innovation in the global and local communities based on the contemporary values of respect for life and respect for others. These beliefs are maintained at every level of the university, from kindergarten through to graduate school. They include the correspondence courses, which have been running now for more than fifty years, and the lifelong learning center, which offers courses for the local community and the general public and a variety of liaisons with domestic and overseas educational institutions. As time changes, so too do the purpose of women's education. In the current climate of conflict and competition, the need to harness women's potential is more significant than ever before. Thus, our university's mission is to foster highly specialized abilities useful for resolving the various challenges faced by contemporary society, the capacity to apply and express those abilities, and an awareness of the changing needs and diverse values of the times. Our mission is rooted in the comprehensive education provided under our founder's three principles. The social advancement of women and the challenge of balancing a career and home life are still problematic in Japan. However, the internal and external networks of Japan Women's University serve as major supports in overcoming such obstacles, containing as they do numerous examples of successful alumnae. We have a significant role to play in working towards the fulfillment of true gender equality. -
"Women's sports should be elegant and feminine, producing healthy mothers," said Tokyo Nikaido, the founder of the Nikaido Taisojuku (Nikaido Gymnastic Private School), which was the forerunner of the Japan Women's College of Physical Education. Nikaido went to the UK, a country of advanced sports, and studied for two years at King's Field College. During her stay in the UK, she found her mission in life to be a sports educator. After returning to Japan, Nikaido founded Nikaido Taisojuku believing in, "Women's sports by women." Adopting the philosophies of the schools at which she had studied in the UK, she formed her educational philosophy: "To achieve the ideal of women's sports which combine both strength and elegance, the school needs to take a holistic approach to education and a broad perspective of people's lives, including food, clothing, and shelter, to raise an elite." Nikaido's philosophy was for producing outstanding teachers of physical education, and the philosophy has been passed on to today's students. Nikaido Taisojuku produced 500 up-and-coming teachers of physical education within four years of its foundation. The superb sprinter Kinue Hitomi, Japan's first female Olympic medalist in the Taisho Era, was one of the graduates. These proud traditions have nurtured Japan Women's College of Physical Education. The Career Center of the college provides unique, influential career and job support programs. The graduates are active in a wide range of industries. Around half of them find positions in the private sector, many take up professions, becoming teachers or instructors of lifelong sports. In contrast, others pursue careers in various fields, such as public services, medical services, welfare services, and business. The objectives of the Graduate School are to research and teach scientific theories and their applications to sports and sports-related fields, develop leaders and researchers with a high degree of professionalism, and contribute to the improvement and advancement in sports science. -
Gunma Prefectural Women's University was founded to provide students with a broad cultural background and specialized knowledge to enable them to make an active contribution at every level of society at every level both here in Japan and throughout the world. Gunma Prefectural Women's University is one of only four public women's universities in Japan and is the only one located in eastern Japan. Since its foundation, its mission has been to make full use of its unique status as a women's University to develop women who can be leaders in their communities and internationally in a new era of internationalization. At its foundation in 1980, the University consisted of one department with three faculties: Japanese literature, English literature (now English language, British and American Cultures), and Aesthetics and Art History. In 2005 the faculty of International Communication was created to develop women who would flourish in the international world. In 2009 the faculty of Liberal Arts was established to produce women with a broad vision and culture. The University now has two departments and four faculties. In 1994 a graduate course in the Humanities was added, followed in 2009 by a graduate course in International Communication. These graduate courses show our University's strong commitment to developing students who possess high research skills and specialist knowledge. As part of its remit to make a substantial contribution to the whole of society, the Foreign Language Research Institute was created in 2001 to act as a catalyst to improve English education in Gunma prefecture. In 2004 a series of symposia under the title of 'Gunma Studies' was created to foster a more comprehensive and diverse understanding of Gunma. In April 2009, the Center for Gunma Studies was set up. In 2012 the Center for Japanese Language Education was created to help foreign residents gain the Japanese skills to play a full role in the community. Our University has shown itself firmly committed to meeting the challenges presented by our changing society and has continued to make an essential contribution to society both in humanities and social studies. Beginning in April 2018, the University will become a public corporation. It will continue to raise the next generation of female leaders and to be a resource to help Gunma develop and cope with the rapidly changing world. We will strive to ensure that the knowledge and experiences that students gain here will help them make a smooth transition into society and constitute a rich resource for their whole lives. The University is currently host to international exchange students from universities (including Huron University and Soochow University), which have student exchange agreements with GPWU. These students play a full and active role in the academic and social life of the University. Each exchange student is assigned two home students ('tutors') to help them with their Japanese and any problems that may arise in their daily lives. In 2007, a new Japanese language course for exchange students was established. -
Gifu Women's University is located on the outskirts of Gifu City in Gifu Prefecture, in the very center of the Japanese Archipelago. Positioned in a semi-rural area, very conducive to concentrated learning, Gifu Women's University enjoys a good reputation for women's education. It has produced a significant number of graduates during its half-century history. Those graduates, in turn, continue to play an active and vital role in their respective communities. In 2016, Gifu Women's celebrate its 70th anniversary since the founding of the Kayo Educational Institution and the 50th anniversary of the university itself. At this milestone, the university wishes to open a new and diverse chapter in women's education. Gifu Women's University provides a first-class education for promising young women, and through partnerships with local businesses and communities, it aims to contribute to the prosperity of the region. At Gifu Women's University, we provide students with a vital primary education and specific fields of education: the combination of which nurtures creativity, fair judgment, and personal elegance. There are two Faculties: the Faculty of Home Economics and the Faculty of Cultural Development. Students are expected to contribute to the local community with their specialized knowledge, and each faculty runs several workshops, which opens this avenue up to students. Students are also urged to obtain multiple qualifications and licenses, depending on their department or major, and befitting each student's forte and personality. At Gifu Women's University, we also focus on the family, locality, and nation's needs. Student-focused education is one characteristic of learning at Gifu Women's University. Each student has an advisor. Each advisor will take on the role of the classroom teacher and be a mentor to each student. Should a student, for some reason, not be able to achieve the necessary grades for passing on to the next year, her advisor will give her encouragement and due consultation. Another feature is the double central system, not prevalent in Japan, but many of the students here. This system, where students major in one area, but can also gain substantial credits from other departments, facilitates the attainment of multiple credentials, thereby making the graduates of GWU extremely sought-after personnel. Gifu Women's University encourages students to find jobs in their local community. University policy assures students the opportunity of going back to their hometown or community if they so desire. Fulfilling the founder of the university's wishes, Gifu Women's University encourages students to use their newly learned skills to play an essential role in revitalizing their home towns or local communities. To promote this return to their homeland, Centre staff visit many companies where alumni work or are located in regions of attending students. -
The International College of Arts and Sciences at Fukuoka Women’s University (FWU) forms the new educational structure of FWU with its three departments: International Liberal Arts, Environmental Science, and Food and Health Sciences. In this new framework, we place “International Vision and Sensibility,” “Leadership,” and “Inventiveness and Creativity” as our central educational principles. Besides, the link between universities and the local communities is vital, even more so in Fukuoka Women’s University because we are a public university. The link with the local area and community to significantly support our international students, in particular, is indispensable for the globalization of FWU. Our philosophy is to rear women who are knowledgeable and of sound judgment, women who can flexibly react in this era of change and can be versatile in applying their abilities. At the same time, we want them to contribute to creating an even better society for Japan and overseas countries and regions, from the viewpoint of Asia or the entire world. The aims of the educational activities of FWU are as follows: “The nurturing of people that have leadership and can act globally” as well as “To contribute to the academics of our community and society, culture and everyday life.” Education at FWU not only thoroughly takes place inside the classroom or on campus but also beyond these borders. This kind of action is anticipated in and out of Japan, and a bright future awaits us when these students who will have learned an international sense and balance will lead Japan in the 21st Century as robust youth. FWU -located in one of Asia’s most attractive cities, namely Fukuoka- has accumulated a history of personal and academic exchange with universities in Asia and around the globe. To give one example, in our WJC (The World of Japanese Culture) program, which was established in order to commemorate the foundation of the new International College of Arts and Sciences, the short term international students can take lessons on Japanese contemporary culture, mainly centered around Pop Culture, which has been receiving increasing attention among youngsters abroad. Moreover, FWU is developing dynamic international exchange activities as a foundation through societal and international cooperation, such as academic and student exchanges with top universities worldwide. FWU was established initially in 1923 (Taisho year 12) as Fukuoka Prefectural College for Women, and it was the first public women’s college in Japan. Today it still upholds this tradition of bright women’s higher education. FWU produced many graduates who played an active part domestically or abroad, and it has mainly contributed to the higher education of women in Japan. -
As you know, a globe is a spherical depiction of Earth, and "global" thus describes something extending across the entire planet. Humanity left its cradle in southern Africa and little by little expanded its range of inhabitation to become a genuinely global presence ultimately. In the process, groups arrived at different destinations, forming a diversity of unique cultures in the lands they chose to settle. Humanity did not halt its spread even after becoming a global presence, though different cultures began encountering one another. Unfortunately, many of these encounters became clashes that sparked conflict. Why must encounters between different cultures lead to conflict? The word "crossover," which started as a musical term, refers to a fusion of music from different genres that creates a new musical world. Such a fusion emerges when individual performers understand each other's musical genres and respect the artists from other genres. How wonderful it would be if cultural encounters, too, could achieve such crossover. Successfully understanding and respecting each other's cultures can make clashes inconceivable, even if no fusion develops as a consequence. The only way to get to that starting point is to adopt a perspective in which you do not regard your own culture in absolute terms. With a solid understanding of your own culture, your interactions with different cultures worldwide will ensure that you have a comparative perspective and a better understanding of and respect for others. We offer a venue to make all that possible. The college is formally divided into three departments, with each department serving as a foundation on which you can build your academic experience in several genres. Gakushuin Women's College offers not only high-standard education but real convivial student life. Other than lectures, many events, and group activities exist within the campus, and new encounters may occur by taking part, thus enhancing the quality of years of attending Gakushuin. Gakushuin Women's College is a four-year, tertiary undergraduate institution with a two year post-graduate Master of Arts program in Intercultural Studies in its Graduate School. It is authorized by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology to grant the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees, and also accredited by the Japan University Accreditation Association. The Faculty of Intercultural Studies comprises three individual departments: the Department of Japanese Studies, the Department of Intercultural Communication, and the Department of English Communication. The departments of Japanese Studies and Intercultural Communication offer special entrance examinations for returnee and non-Japanese students; English Communication does not. The curriculum has two classes: the specialized classes offered to students of each department and the general education classes open to the students in all departments. During their four years at college, students will cultivate their communication skills in Japanese and English, study and explore various cultures, and acquire practical experience of Japanese traditional culture. -
Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts was established in Kyoto in 1876 by Joseph Hardy Neesima, the founder of Doshisha, his wife, Yae Neesima Alice J. Starkweather, an American missionary, and others. Dedicated to core principles of Christianity, internationalism, and liberal arts, the college has a history of constant innovation. It has grown to include eleven departments in six faculties and four graduate schools on two campuses in Kyotanabe and Imadegawa. Total enrollment is currently approximately 6,500 students. Our educational and research activities are based on the three educational pillars of Christianity, internationalism, and liberal arts. In 2016 we celebrated the 140th anniversary of our founding. Since its foundation, Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts has upheld our founding spirit of love and freedom based on Christian teachings. The process of learning to establish oneself is deepened by nurturing feelings of love and dedication toward others. We aim to nurture women who are capable of demonstrating their love for others freely and willingly, without being preoccupied with their benefit—women who can indeed be "the salt of the earth and the light of the world." Through his experience in the Western world, Joseph Hardy Neesima realized the importance of seeing and analyzing history and events from an international, objective perspective rather than from the viewpoint of a single country. He put this insight into practice through education. To look at the world from a global perspective beyond differences in religion, culture, language, and ethnicity, and to seek a way of coexistence—these are the guiding principles of international education. Liberal arts originated from the seven areas of study (grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and music) that intellectuals in medieval Europe pursued to cultivate their views of humanity and the world. Ever since liberal arts education has been a proud tradition in the Western world. Since our foundation, we at D.W.C.L.A. have been committed to liberal arts as our education's core. We encourage students to acquire knowledge and skills in the area of their specialization and study a wide range of academic disciplines to obtain a broad perspective and understanding and ultimately contribute to making the world a better place. With liberal arts as part of our core educational philosophy, we offer a wide range of flexible study options that enable students to demonstrate their individuality and eagerness to the full while expanding their knowledge. Students can take courses offered by departments other than the one they are enrolled in, take courses at Doshisha University and the Consortium of Universities in Kyoto and participate in a domestic student exchange program. By selecting courses of interest from a wide range of options and correlating them as they study, D.W.C.L.A. students can deepen their interests and specialization while gaining a broad perspective on life and developing a lively, creative mind. With our step-by-step curriculum of specialized courses, students can systematically and effectively acquire a high level of expertise. We also offer an array of courses aimed at practical training. As a result, many of our students pass the national exams for pharmacists and registered dietitians. Students can also take deepen their studies by taking related courses offered at other departments. Since our founding, we have continually emphasized intensive small-group instruction to cultivate students' individual qualities and intellectual potential. Discussions and group work are the main activities of such intimate classes. This is an ideal environment for students to acquire independence and logical thinking and hone presentation skills and communication skills over the four years of study. We are committed to offering each student support and guidance regarding her career path throughout her four years at our college. From the beginning, students are encouraged to think about their future career options and shape their outlook on life and work through related courses. Besides, we offer qualification examination preparation courses that are attended by more than 2,000 students every year and internship programs at business and governmental organizations. Third and fourth-year students are eligible for job placement guidance, seminars, and meeting sessions with recruitment staff and alumnae. Also available is a hospitality seminar in collaboration with ANA Group and the teacher training program center for those who seek a teaching position as their first career choice. -
Fuji Women's University has been fostering human resources as the only four-year University specifically for women in the Hokkaido region; Our University is an educational institution for women, basically inspired by a Catholic spirit, but, of course, it respects the freedom of faith and belief. The University was initially developed from Fuji Women's High School in 1925, an establishment started by the first parish chief of the Sapporo Catholic diocese, Bishop Wenseslaus Sold. Realizing that the enhancement of women's education was needed for the future development of Hokkaido, the Bishop requested that his native Germany send educators, receiving as assistance three Sisters of Francis of the Martyr St. George. Subsequently, in 1992, the Faculty of Human Life Sciences was established, and in 2000 the Junior College was abolished, leading to the current system of two faculties and six departments. In 2002 a graduate program began with the opening of the Graduate School of Human Life Sciences and the training of highly specialized professionals. Fuji Women's University has been faithful to the intention, founded from a Christian perspective and a realistic human view, to follow these principles through holistic higher education, to foster women of intellect and humanity to live in love and service to broader society. In the spirit of Catholicism, to pursue goodness, truth, and beauty through research and education and also intend to form the real human focused on the following things. Piety Freedom with responsibility A spirit of tolerance and love To contribute and serve society To contribute to international understanding and peace To achieve the principles and purposes of others, such as Admission policy, Diploma policy, and Curriculum policy. As a Catholic women's college, our purpose is to offer a place where our students can develop their humanity and pursue truth, goodness, and beauty through education and research. We believe that people are irreplaceable beings, loved, and kept alive by God. Acting upon this belief, we nurture fertile minds to seek an international point of view, recognizing universal values such as love, freedom, justice, and peace, while at the same time fostering an appreciation of ourselves and others. As they develop and polish themselves, our students interact to stimulate each other's intellectual curiosity with love and respect. Our faculty members value their relationship with the students, both in their teaching and in their research. Fuji Women's University hopes that our students will learn to open their minds to contemplate matters of worldwide concern and graduate to become members of a workplace or a family and members of the global society. -
Our campus is situated on a small hill in the northern part of Osaka prefecture. It is blessed with rich greenery and many varieties of beautiful flowers with exquisite fragrances in each season, such as plum and cherry blossoms, roses, Chinese hibiscuses, osmanthus fragrance, and sasanquas. The Baika Girls' School, the predecessor of our university, was established in 1878. Since then, we have remained steadfast in our mission of offering Christianity-based education for women. This philosophy lives up to founder Paul Sawayama's favorite verse of the Bible, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," which has become Baika's school motto and serves as the guiding principle that all students and faculty members should follow as they conduct their day-to-day activities. Under this guiding principle, Baika Women's University has sent many high-caliber women into society. At the same time, we have steadily enhanced our standards in various ways to meet increasingly diversified societal requirements. Baika Women's University encourages its students to seek an ideal way of life-based on Christianity's spirit and cultivate the ability to walk through life in the way they have discovered. At the same time, we aim to foster people who respect a diversity of values and have the motivation to cooperate with neighbors. We aim to help our students cultivate free-minded perceptions and well-rounded intelligence to develop themselves into people who can adapt and contribute to society. The development of independently thinking and acting women: this is Baika English education's practical aim, producing women who can realize their potential and participate in international society. This aspiration is a Baika tradition that breathes through the school's Christian-based humanities education. Our university continually seeks to develop as an institution fostering new talent and adapting to the ever-changing culture. The scope of these activities encompasses our community, our society, the world. Baika Women's University is a truly "educational" institution in the respect that it is dedicated to developing individual students' capabilities and talent to the fullest extent by stretching their limits. Along with specialized education offered through various faculties and departments, our university also offers career education by taking work options, qualification requirements, and women's overall needs into account. Through these educational opportunities, we seek to foster women with extensive knowledge and well-rounded characters, women who can dauntlessly and flexibly meet any challenges they might face, and genuinely independent women who are qualified for success in the 21st century. This is based on our belief that this is the raison d'être of women's universities and the most critical mission of our university. Our campus, situated in a beautiful natural setting, is always filled with the sound of lively voices and the smiling faces of our students and all of them are given full attention by our faculty members. We hope that many women who are considerate of others and actively do their part as responsible members of society will leave our university with a robust posture and a positive attitude toward life. -
Founded in 1897, Wayo Women's University has a history of 115 years. From the start, we have upheld the philosophy of "Japanese Spirit with Western Techniques." We highly regard the adoption of advanced Western ideas while maintaining our rich traditions and cultural values. Since the Meiji era, Wayo has contributed to society's growth by sending forth many graduates who possess advanced skills and high moral standards. In the 21st century, we have seen the onset of a dramatic change in society's structure. This has created the necessity for people to live amid diverse values, and within this coexistence, discover new values. As a result, there has been a significant change in what skills society demands. Interaction with others, along with deepening levels of support, has become ever more vital. Individuals must act autonomously by thinking and deciding for themselves while at the same time dealing with others. At Wayo, we must renew our educational philosophy to grasp these changes in the social structure and nurture women who can actively participate in the world with sincerity and skills to support others. Based on this ideal, we strive to focus on instilling "5 capabilities" in students during their four years of university, namely, The ability to know oneself with self-respect. Primary scholastic and written communication skills. The ability of self-expression with empathy. Problem-solving skills. Specialized skills to benefit society. These five capabilities can be exemplified in all life areas, whether corporate, community or at home. In other words, their four years at university must cultivate "skills for living." Studying liberal arts provides opportunities for them to learn about the world while finding their place in it. Courses insignificant subjects equip them with excellent practical skills and knowledge to benefit society. By refining the five capabilities, Wayo Women's University aims to educate women who can support others with sincerity and excellence. Our goal is to see graduates who exemplify the essence of the Japanese Spirit with Western Techniques serving at the core of our diverse society. Our campus is located in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, 20km from central Tokyo. Ichikawa offers easy access to downtown Tokyo (20 minutes by train), Narita International Airport (40 minutes by train), and Haneda Airport (60 minutes by train). The city's transportation system includes two train lines as well as numerous bus lines. Our Konodai campus, which overlooks the Edo River, was selected one of Ichikawa's 100 best landscapes in May 2006. Many student and citizen groups visit our campus to see the Wayo museum and the panoramic view from the 18th floor of the East Tower.

Showa Women’s University celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2020 when the Tokyo Olympic Games are held. Since its founding, we have been steadfastly committed to enabling students to develop knowledge of their fields vigorously and to equipping students with a professional education that prepares them to be leaders in society. To that end, women should not confine themselves to stereotypical roles but rather challenge themselves to excel. Please take advantage of the various intercultural collaborations on campus connected with our local community and the public and private sectors in Japan and the rest of the world.

Mrs. Kotaka Otsuma, the founder of our university, preached and practiced the "nurturing of maternal qualities," the value system by which she lived her life. Even in our modern times, with people seeking diversity and varied lifestyles, the founder's belief in nurturing and deepening the universal value of a "gentle and generous heart" is still an essential foundation for women's education. Our school's motto is "Haji-wo-Shire." (Roughly translated as "appreciate humility" or "develop an understanding of the value of humility.") This urges individuals to examine themselves closely and not get sidetracked by the lofty ideals of human existence. This philosophy encourages students to cultivate independent minds. Our university has a traditional reputation for turning out "good wives and wise mothers." While emphasizing the concept of home-based women whose characters are enhanced with rich, good natures, our motto takes on a new, modern meaning when educating women who drive themselves to become leaders in various fields and industries. Kotaka Otsuma's spirit serves as the guiding force behind our philosophy of education for the new era, prompting women to view the world in new ways, contribute to peace and harmony, and nurture and develop their capabilities. Otsuma Women's University celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2008, and we are excited to continue our mission into the next century. Our targets for action and educational goals are as follows: "To contribute to the realization of a healthy and sustainable society through striving for the enrichment of social capital by fostering truly independent women with minds rich in both refinement and compassion through the systematic promotion of the founding mentality of university founder Kotaka Otsuma in education/research/regional activities in the context of the new era." Over ten years have passed since the advent of the 21st century. In this span, society and our surroundings have entered an era of rapid change globally. Mrs. Kotaka Otsuma, the founder of this university, opened a private academy to provide instruction in needlework and handicraft in 1908, shortly after the turn of the 20th century. The 20th century was also a time of significant change. Amid such changes, Otsuma University promoted practical education under the educational philosophy of integrated education for women's independence and to foster women with minds rich in both refinement and compassion, practical skills and practical scholarship, and the ability to play a leading role in society as specialized professionals. The provision of higher education, much like elementary and secondary education, is mandated by society. As such, it is, of course, required to cater to societal changes. Simultaneously, however, specific pursuits must be maintained, regardless of changes in society and our surroundings. That is, individuals should, through their university education, acquire the capacity to think for themselves, assess matters subjectively, and make decisions by themselves. No matter how our society or surroundings may change, individuals will always be required to think, not merely memorize. Therein lies the first step of university education. At the same time, university education must be able to adapt appropriately to such changes. Against a backdrop of widening disparities in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, the world seems to have reached a turning point: the rise of anti-globalism, as exemplified by Brexit and the whirlwind that is the Trump presidency. Nevertheless, this anti-globalist sentiment is unlikely to halt the trend worldwide of the cross-border and universal flow of people, goods, money, and information. The practical skills and practical scholarship needed in such a time are new and specialized knowledge and skills that benefit this global trend. Otsuma University will also do its part to help students develop such abilities. Otsuma University is currently comprised of five faculties, namely the Faculty of Home Economics, the Faculty of Language and Literature, the Faculty of Social Information Studies, the Faculty of Human Relations, and the Faculty of Comparative Culture, as well as a Junior College, and the Graduate School of Studies in Human Culture. The university will continue to strive to provide a comprehensive university education as described above. I sincerely hope that many of you reading this will aspire to become a member of Otsuma University. -
Nagoya Girls' School, the predecessor of Nagoya Women's University(NWU), was founded in 1915. Haruko Koshihara, the school founder, established "Kindness" as the guiding principle of the school and emphasized that women should devote themselves to their studies to become independent in society and contribute to cultural improvement. The school's founder's spiritual legacy lives on at Nagoya Women's Junior College (now NWU), which was established in 1950. Haruko advocated "equality between men and women through women's efforts" and stressed that, to that end, women needed to acquire a high level of culture and vocational ability and attain economic independence. The educational philosophy of our educational institution, based on "Kindness," is to build character and prepare highly cultured, kindhearted women with superior vocational ability. We maintain this philosophy and continue to prepare women for the future. The Koshihara Memorial Hall was built in 2009 for permanent preservation of the founder's footsteps and the history of the school. The Hall was opened as a place for teachers, students, and graduates to present their constant efforts and serve as a facility for extensive cultural exchange. Located in Japan's very heart, Aichi is linked by direct flights to many major cities across the globe. Its capital city, Nagoya, home to the prefectural government's seat, forms the center of one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas, alongside Tokyo and Osaka. Aichi has developed into an industry and technology industry represented by Toyota Motor Corporation, whose corporate headquarters are located here. Taken together, the economy, culture, and a wide range of industries in Aichi Prefecture serve as a significant driving force behind the economic might of Japan. The Hall has two functions. First, the exhibition area provides space for permanent and special exhibitions of historical materials such as the school's history, education, and folk customs. It is also used for work presentations by students and graduates. Second, the Hall on the second floor is used for lectures, plays, and concerts. The Department of Food Science and Nutrition educates students to become national registered dietitians who can contribute to the maintenance and promotion of health and the prevention and treatment of diseases from the perspective of food studies. Students acquire specialized knowledge and skills to be used in scientific fields. The Department of Life Studies and Environmental Science educates students about how to better live and contribute to a sustainable society. Students acquire specialized knowledge and skills in the fields of the living environment and apparel design. The Department of Home Economics and Business prepares students to become good family members who are equipped with knowledge and skills in home economics and professionals who can contribute to society through their business skills and services. The Department of International English prepares students to think critically in their mother tongue with a global perspective based on intercultural understanding. The Department trains students to become professionals with high-level English skills to communicate with people anywhere in the world. This primarily prepares students to become nursery, kindergarten, and elementary school teachers with specialized knowledge and education skills. Students taking this course of studies will acquire strong leadership abilities through their rich human and social experiences at NWU, which will prepare them for their role as educators. This primary prepares students to become nursery and kindergarten teachers with extensive basic and specialized knowledge about children's growth. This major also teaches students how to create the right childcare environment in the local community with their strong leadership. -
Education at Mukogawa Gakuin aims to nurture women to develop a combination of high intelligence, noble sentiment, and lofty virtues and become constructive members of a peaceful nation and society, following the ideals upon which our nation was founded. In particular, considering the characteristics of a women's public school, we should hold the policy of integrated education, respect the admirable traditional customs of Japanese women, and promote awareness of women's role in Japanese society. With such consciousnesses, Mukogawa Gakuin strives for a culture that fosters respect for individuality and the education of women capable of contributing to a new Japan's founding. We will do our best to fulfill this role. High intelligence, noble sentiments, lofty virtues. These are the aims of a well-rounded education at Mukogawa Women's University. To prepare women to lead independent lives in society, the teaching staff works to cultivate a combination of self-responsibility, rational thinking, and the ability to put ideas into action. Mukogawa Women's University is Japan's foremost women's university in terms of education and research standards, educational environment, and organizational scale. Boasting the largest number of students (at ten thousand) of all the women's educational institutes in Japan, Mukogawa Women's University comprises six schools and 14 departments covering the humanities, sciences, health and sports sciences, fine arts, daily life studies, and public health it is Junior College Division comprises seven departments, and its Graduate School comprises six departments. Our university's educational ideal is expressed in the motto "high intelligence, noble sentiments, and lofty virtues," an ethos advocated by Kiichiro Koe, the founder of Mukogawa Gakuin (the university's parent body). In line with this idea, the university has set the goal of providing an education that nurtures three essential qualities: accurate intelligence to continuously pursue truth, a sensitive and broad mind, and a spirit of consideration and dedication to others. To prepare women to lead independent lives in society, the teaching staff works to cultivate a combination of self-responsibility, rational thinking, and the ability to put ideas into action. As we move towards a more gender-equal age, women are expected to play a much more significant role in society. Moreover, with the march of globalization, developing female professionals is an increasingly crucial issue in Japan. Mukogawa Women's University has endeavored to enhance its teaching quality to equip women with leadership skills and global perspectives—the properties they will need to participate in a more gender-equal age. Our strength lies in the fact that we have an optimal educational environment where students' love for learning and academic and professional knowledge and skills are cultivated to a maximum degree. It is this very strength that explains our impressive graduate employment rates and qualification-acquisition rates. We believe that Mukogawa Women's University will have an increasingly vital role in developing a female professional. In 2019, we will celebrate the 80th anniversary of our parent body, Mukogawa Gakuin, and the 70th anniversary of the university itself. It is not long until we will celebrate our 90th anniversary, and then our centenary. Looking ahead to these milestones now is the time for us to play to our strengths as a women's university, step up efforts to improve our education and research, and develop an educational environment that helps our students to learn more broadly and deeply. -

It supports the University's academic units' research initiatives, aligns them with national development goals, and prioritizes their effective integration into related community engagement programs. As an essential component of quality education, research by members of the academic community is encouraged and promoted under various research funding and support programs. The RDO is staffed by a director, research associate, and administrative assistant who coordinates all research activities and acts as the secretariat for all administrative and financial matters. On June 9, 1919, what would eventually be PWU opened its first classes as the Philippine Women's College. The vision of seven far-sighted Filipino women - Clara Aragon, Concepcion Aragon, Francisca Tirona Benitez, Paz Marquez Benitez, Carolina Ocampo Palma, Mercedes Rivera, and Socorro Marquez Zaballero - the nascent University had an initial enrollment of 190 students. The goal was to prepare young Filipino women for a life of service and leadership. In 1932, thirteen years after opening, the college won university status, becoming known henceforth as the Philippine Women's University and thus the first University for women in Asia founded by Asians. Following evolving trends, PWU started admitting male students in the 1970s and is now fully co-educational. The University is moving toward its centenary in 2020. It has coped with many vicissitudes, including being burned and razed to the ground during the battle for Manila's liberation in 1945. But phoenix-like, PWU rose from the ashes, grew and flourished even more vigorous, innovative, and determined to continue serving the youth of the land. -

Student Services support students who have personal, financial, health, disability, or work-related problems. Student Services also seek to help all students to learn the personal skills they need to build the lives and careers they want for themselves, from problem-solving to understanding teams, from mental well-being and coping with stress. Being at PWU is about seeking out and responding to opportunities in all spheres of life, not just academic work, but Student Services support that search whether things are going well. Student Affairs Office is committed to the organization and promotion of various co-curricular activities that will encourage active student participation and enhance the leadership skills and potentials of every Philwomenian. The different student programs are Student Development, Student Publications, Sports, Community Outreach, Student Assistantship, and Spiritual Formation. This office provides classroom extension activities such as fieldwork, field trips, convocations, and other social, cultural, academic, and spiritual activities. Through these activities, the leadership and organizational capabilities of students are nurtured. Students are graded in these activities by the faculty-in-charge or field supervisor in cooperation with the MSCED Faculty Adviser, based on their performance in interest groups, clubs, and organizations. This is a required academic complement for eight semesters for all students. The Students Affairs Office also takes disciplinary action on students who violate the rules of the University. Dedicated to bridging the gaps between home and professional life in the interest of holistic personal, national, and social development, PWU envisions itself as a research institution working in consonance with national development goals. Its research orientations go hand-in-hand with its recognition of the globalized nature of its teaching and research. Its social development thrust is linked to its historical concern for gender empowerment, family life, civic participation, health, education, environmentalism, and cultural heritage. The issues pertinent to women and families permeate the Millennium Development Goals, and PWU shall focus its research efforts on building capacities of communities to address these various issues. As an office under the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Research and Development Office (RDO) ensures adherence to the University's research agenda. It supports the University's academic units' research initiatives, aligns them with national development goals, and prioritizes their effective integration into related community engagement programs. As an essential component of quality education, research by members of the academic community is encouraged and promoted under various research funding and support programs. The RDO is staffed by a director, research associate, and administrative assistant who coordinates all research activities and acts as the secretariat for all administrative and financial matters. On June 9, 1919, what would eventually be PWU opened its first classes as the Philippine Women's College. The vision of seven far-sighted Filipino women - Clara Aragon, Concepcion Aragon, Francisca Tirona Benitez, Paz Marquez Benitez, Carolina Ocampo Palma, Mercedes Rivera, and Socorro Marquez Zaballero - the nascent University had an initial enrollment of 190 students. The goal was to prepare young Filipino women for a life of service and leadership. In 1932, thirteen years after opening, the college won university status, becoming known henceforth as the Philippine Women's University and thus the first University for women in Asia founded by Asians. Following evolving trends, PWU started admitting male students in the 1970s and is now fully co-educational. The University is moving toward its centenary in 2020. It has coped with many vicissitudes, including being burned and razed to the ground during the battle for Manila's liberation in 1945. But phoenix-like, PWU rose from the ashes, grew and flourished even more vigorous, innovative, and determined to continue serving the youth of the land. View full university
