Teikyo University Third Term [2025-2030] Medium-Term Plan
Since its founding in 1966, our university has responded to the demands of the times by establishing new faculties, establishing a study abroad program, and reforming our entrance examination system. However, in these uncertain times, we have formulated an action plan to clarify the direction our faculty and staff should aim for and to embody our "School Philosophy," "Educational Philosophy," "Educational Guidelines," "mission and purpose," and "educational objectives." Based on this plan, our university will clarify the policies, goals, and implementation plans of each department and promote its operations.
