International Christian University (ICU), a small, bilingual, liberal arts university located in Tokyo’ began as an experiment in international education in 1953, when Japanese leaders sought more democratic and humanistic approaches to addressing domestic and international problems. ICU was envisaged as a “University of Tomorrow,” a place where Japanese and international students would live together and learn to serve the needs of an emerging, more interconnected world. Over the past 50 years, the university has graduated students who carry with them a pioneering spirit of openness to constructive change and alternative points of view. Today, ICU is recognized as a leader in international education in Japan.
