Osaka Kokusai Gakuen (Osaka International Educational Institution) was established in 1929 and, by the end of the 20th Century, had developed into an important group of educational institutions. These included a kindergarten, a junior high and two high schools, Osaka International College for Women, Osaka International University for Women and Osaka International University, the latter university offering both undergraduate and graduate level degrees. Osaka International University for Women and Osaka International College for Women were established in order to develop educated young ladies capable of independent thought and action. Osaka International University was established to integrate, within an overarching international perspective, areas of study that include management, information science, politics, economics and law.
Now, as we enter the 21st Century, there is a growing need for individuals who are unafraid of failure and who have a global perspective. These are borderless people unhindered by the walls most human beings build-up around their hearts and minds. They are not confined by country, ethnicity, race, religion, culture or any other of the borders that rift us apart.
Unconstrained by the lines drawn by family, generation, gender, authority and organization they work towards building a new society.
In order to better cope with changing times and develop these kinds of individuals, our three institutions of higher education continue to evolve. In the spring of 2002, Osaka International University for Women and Osaka International University joined together under the name of Osaka International University. At the same time, Osaka International College for Women reorganized itself as Osaka International College (In this pamphlet, unless otherwise indicated, "Osaka International" refers to both institutions.)
*We at Osaka International are committed to providing a wealth of opportunities for every student to develop their individual potential and are focused on developing a set of courses, curricula, and faculties that are both attractive and effective in achieving that goal.
