Why does ICU place such value on diversity?

The type of internationally minded citizen that ICU aims to cultivate is one who, with an open sense of values, will work together with people from countries around the world and Japan and contribute to the peace and co-existence of the human race. Achieving this aim requires a campus in which students can recognize each other's differences in nationality, race, culture, and other values, collaborate from universal, humanistic standpoints, and put conciliation into practice.

ICU has adopted a variety of programs for the selection of students, through which it accepts students from all over the world. We also recruit faculty from various countries around the world by advertising internationally. We ask our students to lead lives that adhere to the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and, through the establishment of Basic Policies for the Prevention of Human Rights Violations, we strive to ensure a campus in which everyone can feel reassured. All of these endeavors, and others, are designed to cultivate internationally minded citizens, which is why we place such value on diversity.
