Okinawa University and International University, private universities located in Okinawa, have decided to merge and establish a new university, based on agreement between the parties. As private universities, both naturally possess unique philosophies of establishment in accordance with their founders. They also have concepts for executing those philosophies, and their own irreplaceable histori...es and traditions of value. However, while the unique rationales of both Okinawa University and International University to exist as private universities and their traditions will be respected, from today the decision has been made to reexamine the issue of being “ a private university in Okinawa” from an even broader perspective.
Okinawa International University values the traditions, culture, and natural environment of Okinawa, and strives to create scholarship and culture that supports the peace and coexistence of humankind. We aim to cultivate spiritually rich, unique individuals, and contribute to local autonomy and the development of international society.
Okinawa has been endowed with a warm, natural environment that belongs to the subtropical zone, and has developed through building a unique culture that has been historically affected by various foreign countries. In recent years, the number ofinternational tourists including those from China, Taiwan, and Korea, has increased due to the expansion of international air routes and port calls from cruise ships, and initiatives are in motion to make Okinawa a logistics base for Southeast Asia and developing China.
Our university is comprised of ten departments and four faculties that specialize in social sciences and humanities, and a graduate school that has three research departments. We have students not only from Okinawa and other prefectures but also exchange students. They learn not only specialized courses, but also about Okinawan history, culture, language and US military base issues. 0ur university also has a study abroad program with national and international partner universities, and students are able to make use of our complete scholarship program. The university will work to further enhance a learning environment where students feel at ease and are able to acquire advanced and refined knowledge. In addition, we are making efforts in job-hunting support, with approximately 50,000 of our graduates in Okinawa and in other prefectures working in finance, logistics, welfare, and a variety of other fields, including civil servants and teachers, as well as talent working overseas.
Along with imparting our students with a wide range ofknowledge, our university is a higher educational institution that maintains the mission to train promising and specialized human resources needed by the country, society and region. A1ong with independent learning at our faculties and departments and obtaining a high level of specialized knowledge, we think that the mission of the university is to support students in ways that they are able to acquire the power of understanding, analytical skills, judgement, executive ability, and resourcefulness. Until now, humankind has been able to resolve many difficulties through wisdom or scholarly knowledge; nonetheless, there are still many issues that must be solved, such as those relating to poverty, disparity, and the environment. We will work even harder to cultivate talent that can travel the world and serve as bridges between nations. We are sure that our students will make many friends, debate and discuss issues with their classmates and teachers, acquire communication skills, and strive to contribute to today"s information and information-oriented society. We, the faculty of the university, promise that we will support and encourage students in their efforts.
