    Bunka Gakuen University and the Junior College were established in 1950 as Bunka Women's Junior College. Along with more than half a century of history and tradition, we have cultivated a unique educational philosophy as pioneers in the study of fashion and lifestyle/creative fields. The field of learning was further expanded in 1991 when the Department of Intercultural Studies and the Department of English Language and Literature were established in the Faculty of Literature and the 2000 establishment of the Department of Health Psychology in the same Faculty. In the same year, the Faculty of Home Economics was divided into the Faculty of Fashion Science and the Faculty of Art and Design. At present, together with the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Junior College, the University leads Japan's research and development in the fields of fashion, art and design, and living environments, as well as cultivating human resources capable of responding to the challenges of society's ongoing globalization.
    As a comprehensive educational institution with the establishment of its Graduate Schools and Junior College and an affiliated high school, junior high school, and kindergarten, Bunka Gakuen University has established its education and research system—the subject of increasingly great expectations from the community in recent years. With the institution's name change to Bunka Gakuen University and Bunka Gakuen University Junior College in 2011 and the start of coeducation in all undergraduate departments in 2012, and Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences was relocated from Kodaira campus to the campus in Shinjuku New Urban City, we have taken some significant steps toward the future.
    Since the foundation of Bunka Gakuen University and Junior College, we have inherited the founding motto "Creating New Beauty and Culture" and guarded its meaning to this day. Our education began with fashion-related studies and is based on the basic principle of pursuing "New Beauty" that leads the times in every specialized field, while creating the next-generation "Culture" through the curriculum and research activities we offer, which consist today of the three faculties: Faculty of Fashion Science, Faculty of Art and Design, and Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as the Junior College (Department of Fashion).
    In our contemporary globalized society, most countries practice coeducation in design education and fashion education. To further promote international exchange among universities, it is essential to keep cultivating a diverse range of outstanding human resources with aspirations in this field, regardless of their gender. Coeducation began based on this philosophy, and we sent out our first male graduates into society in the spring of 2016. The first graduates have also graduated from the Program in Global Management in Fashion, established in 2014. This made transportation more convenient and gathered all faculties to a campus adjacent to sources of various information, making it possible to carry out innovation more specifically focused on society and culture, in collaboration between the three Faculties and the Junior College.
    The Shinjuku New Urban Center Campus are Bunka Fashion Graduate University, Bunka Fashion College, and the Bunka Institute of Language. Combined with Bunka Gakuen University, over 1,300 international students are learning together with Japanese students regularly. The student life at Bunka Gakuen is that students of these four schools provide each other with mutual stimulation and learn mutually, and engage in various creative activities in that context.
