Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) was established in 1982 in Shiba-Koen, Minato-ku, becoming the first campus of an American university in Japan. The university initially operated under partnership with several local businesses until 1996, when those relationships were terminated and TUJ became a wholly owned operation of Temple University. During this time, the campus was relocated to Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku, where it continues to operate today.
At its inception, the university offered an Intensive English Language Program (IELP) in its Tokyo campus, as well as a Master of Education (M.Ed.) program in both its Tokyo and Osaka centers. Within the next decade it launched an Undergraduate Program, a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in TESOL program and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) program, as well as expanded its IELP program to its Osaka center. In 1996, upon becoming a wholly owned operation of Temple University, TUJ launched the Executive MBA program - the first program of its kind in Japan - while simultaneously re-launching its Open College Program and Globalization Program as the Continuing Education and Corporate Education programs, respectively.
