The International University of Japan (国際大学 Kokusai Daigaku or IUJ?) is a private university located in Minamiuonuma city in Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
IUJ is the first graduate school in Japan, and one of the few Japanese universities which offers all courses in English. It was founded in 1982, primarily to train global leaders effective in the globalized world, be it in business, government, world organizations, or the non-profit sector. IUJ offers Master's degrees in International Development, Economics, Public Management, International Peace Studies and International Relations, as well as an MBA in business administration and an E-business degree. IUJ is fully approved and accredited by the Ministry of Education, Japan.
The IUJ Business school is consistently ranked among the top schools in the world by leading business and education publications. The Public Management program, too, was recently noted among the best. Some of the rankings are noted below.
The IUJ campus has an extremely diverse student body, with students from all over the world. In any given academic year there are students from about 50 countries. This diversity is accentuated by the fact that there are only 330 total students on campus. The diversity was celebrated as part of IUJ's 25th Anniversary through a Guinness World Record record breaking attempt - "The most nationalities in a sauna (50)".
