Chuo University

Chuo University was founded as the Igirisu Horitsu Gakko (the English Law School) in 1885. In the 133 years since its inception, Chuo has stayed true to its traditional philosophy of "Fostering the Ability to Apply Knowledge to Practice". With a mission to contribute to society, it has continually nurtured students who have gone on to work for the betterment of society and pioneer its future. Chuo today has developed into a comprehensive university with six faculties and seven graduate schools, as well as two professional graduate schools, four affiliated high schools, two affiliated junior high schools, and nine research institutes. Driven forward by the wide ranging academic research and practical learning carried out throughout the university, Chuo’s original tenet of pursuing the practical application of learning has been passed down to our current university motto, "Knowledge into Action".
