Temple University Japan Campus

 

 The primary mission of Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) is to provide a superior education to all students. As a campus of Temple University, TUJ provides undergraduate, graduate and first-professional students from Japan, the United States, and around the world with the opportunity to obtain a degree from a leading American university while studying in downtown Tokyo. TUJ offers a broad range of degree and non-degree programs that reflect the academic standards and requirements of the home campus while embracing the uniqueness of our position as a full-experience American university campus in Japan.

TUJ's educational philosophy is based upon a combination of education and student service that enables our students to acquire the critical thinking, cross-cultural communication, linguistic, and professional skills necessary for them to achieve their academic, career, and personal aspirations. The above academic commitment to our students is bolstered by a full range of student support and services, from admissions through career placement.

We live in a world in which both challenges and opportunities are borderless, in which individuals build lives and careers that span cultures and languages, and in which the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong process. TUJ's mission is to provide a truly international education as a leader and innovator in providing the traditions and contemporary practices of American higher education in a Japanese context to create a unique intellectual environment that transcends borders.

As an American institution in Japan, TUJ is committed to working with Japanese institutions of higher education in educational, research and administrative relationships in order to further mutual academic development. TUJ helps foster better relations between the United States and Japan, but as a truly international institution of higher education we hope that TUJ can be a model for cross-national academic collaboration for all.

In fulfilling the above missions, TUJ will proudly represent Temple University and its commitment to international education.

Recognized as a Foreign University, Japan Campus

TUJ is the first educational institution in Japan to be officially recognized as a Foreign University, Japan Campus by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. This status allows TUJ to sponsor student visas, enabling international students to study at the university on either a short-term basis (one or two semesters) or a long-term basis (such as to complete a full four-year program).

Superb faculty and small classes

TUJ's superb faculty works closely with students to help them achieve their academic objectives. We organize small classes to facilitate lively discussions and to allow professors to give special attention to students. Moreover, TUJ offers the Temple University brand of education, providing the same course content as that of Temple's main campus and teaching all but its language courses in English. Studying at TUJ offers the same quality education as at Temple University in the United States and makes it easy to transfer to Temple's main campus or to any other North American universities in the U.S. and elsewhere.
