1. Three pillars supporting tradition and global human assets

Toyo University carries on a tradition that began with the Philosophy Academy, an institution founded by the philosopher Enryo Inoue in 1887. In commemoration of Toyo University’s 130th anniversary in 2017, it began developing “global human assets” capable of responding to changes in the times and environment and of blazing their own paths forward. This undertaking is based on three pillars; namely, “globalization” and “career preparation” built upon “philosophy education.”
