seinan gakuin university
In 2016 Seinan Gakuin celebrated its 100th Anniversary with a renewed commitment
to endeavor to be true to Christ in the pursuit of truth in academic affairs and
excellence in character development, striving to equip and nurture students who
will be able to serve as creative and constructive leaders in local communities
and in global society. As you prepare for, or continue, your university
education, the whole world lies before you. Since we live in a world that is
rapidly becoming a community without borders, the opportunities which lie before
us are almost limitless. The world community continues to become more and more
interconnected socially, economically, and politically. Decisions or events in
one country rapidly ripple across the globe, making an impact on every nation.
At the same time, differences between people, cultures, and countries are being
magnified. Rather than allowing differences to become walls of separation, there
is a need for building bridges of understanding and cooperation. Seinan Gakuin
University provides the opportunity for young people to respond to the
challenges of our world. Our highly trained faculty is committed to providing a
high level of education and to helping our students understand the world and
prepare them to find a place in the world. The faculty is also committed to a
high level of academic research and scholarship. Having published in a wide
range of academic journals, professors implement their research in both teaching
and contributing to the local and international community. Our International
Division is one of the oldest exchange programs in Japan. Reaching around the
globe, we have exchange programs with universities in the U.S., Canada, Great
Britain, France, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, the Czech
Republic, Hungary, Germany, Iceland, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Romania, Russia,
Australia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand,
Turkey, South Africa, Chile, Peru —and the list continues to grow. The
curriculum of the program includes classes in Japanese language, culture, and
society. Participants from around the world not only learn about Japan together
but also have opportunities to learn about different ways of life and different
cultures from each other, inside and outside the classroom. The greatest
investment any nation or individual can make for the future is an investment in
education. The future is yours. We are committed as a university to investing in
your education and in your future. Won’t you consider investing in your future
as a student at Seinan Gakuin University? There is a place for you here.
