[Japan] Toyo University – Students Exchange Program for Fall 2021

Greetings from Toyo University in Tokyo, Japan!

Toyo University began as a private “Philosophy Academy” founded by Dr. Enryo Inoue in 1887. In light of the then-confused state Japan found itself in following the introduction of Western influences, Dr. Inoue offered a view of education that proposed that the basis of all learning lay in philosophy. Through the teaching of philosophy grounded in fundamental and logical thought, he aimed to enrich society by increasing the capabilities of the common people to engage in such intellectual activities as contemplation, conception, and judgment.

Toyo University has continued to preserve its founding spirit and continues to expand today. With approximately 30,000 students, it has become a large-scale general university consisting of 11 faculties with 44 departments, 10 graduate schools offering 32 majors, and the Law School. In each and every one of its faculties and graduate schools, the educational goals, and philosophies relating to the collective cultivation of individual minds are established based upon the spirit with which the university was founded.
