Tokyo International University
Tokyo International University (東京国際大学 Tōkyō Kokusai daigaku) is an institution of higher learning with a strong international focus, with a satellite (or affiliated) campus--Tokyo International University of America (TIUA)--Willamette University in Salem, Oregon.
Contrary to its name, the university is actually located in the area surrounding Kawagoe City in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, which is far from Tokyo proper, but is part of the Greater Tokyo Area.
The one-year program at TIUA and Willamette University enables students to pursue academic goals, while developing intercultural awareness. Programs are designed to offer students opportunities to learn through experience about other people and cultures. As a result, students also gain and share insights about their own traditions and values. An exchange program began between TIU and Willamette in 1965. TIUA was established in 1985.
