Why can ICU students take certain courses at other institutions like the University of Tsukuba and Tokyo University of Foreign Studies?

ICU works cooperatively with other universities in Japan with the aim of further promoting education and research.

The partnership with the University of Tsukuba allows ICU students to undertake senior thesis in such fields as medicine and health care, sports science, and the fine arts. Meanwhile, the partnership with Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS) encompasses a credit transfer system allowing ICU students to take designated courses for credit, as well as a mutual library use agreement.

ICU will continue to expand its partnerships with other universities into new fields of learning and research.
