Fukuoka / Private
Seinan Gakuin University is a humanities-focused university with a long history of international exchange and cooperation. The international exchange program, now managed in the Center for International Education, is one of the oldest such programs in Japan. The location of the University, in Kyushu's largest city, known as the "gateway to Asia " offers students an exciting environment in which to learn and grow.
Seinan Gakuin University is situated adjacent to one of Fukuoka City’s key waterfront areas, Seaside Momochi, amid a superb environment incorporating academic and cultural facilities, information hubs, and educational and research centers. In addition to its 12 courses of study in seven undergraduate departments - Theology, Foreign Language Studies, Commerce, Economics, Law, Human Sciences, and Intercultural Studies - SGU also offers 8 courses in 7 graduate divisions including Law, Business Administration, Foreign Language Studies, Economics, Theology, Human Sciences and Intercultural Studies. With a total graduate and undergraduate student population of about 8,500, we are consistently ranked as one of the leading privately-funded universities in Western Japan.
Ever since our establishment we have employed a high number of foreign educational faculty, and were the first school to incorporate English-language education into our curriculum. Likewise we were the first school to establish a foreign exchange program with universities overseas, and have established a long tradition of welcoming students from other lands. We have a reputation as a school delivering excellent linguistic training in a richly international environment. We also stress the provision of a well-rounded education based on Christian principles, with special courses on the study of Christianity, and chapel. Our goal is to nurture graduates capable of contributing to local and international society through a spirit of service to others.

Awakening potential through encounter with culture
Everywhere on earth, where there are people, there is culture. Each region has its own unique culture, established over many years by the predecessors. Today, it is often said that "the world has gotten smaller"; we live in the Japanese culture, yet other cultures are so easily within reach, including their food, language and music. Moreover, one could cross the borders and actually step into another culture at the drop of a hat. Encounter with different cultures is a fun and exciting experience. However, the path from such "encounter" to "understanding" is not easy to find or follow. This is because this path requires "knowledge."
The new curriculum of the Department of Intercultural Studies offers six courses to allow systematic learning of knowledge necessary in understanding different cultures. Of these, four courses are focused on regions, while two courses are on academic genres of comparative culture and representational culture, making this Department very unique. Students of the Department of Intercultural Studies study their specific fields in each of the courses, and in addition, gain a comprehensive grasp on culture through subjects such as the Dynamism of Culture. The Department of Intercultural Studies, founded in 1976, will continue making advancements into the future.
