Waseda University

Founded in 2004 as a departure from the specialized study to which other faculties aspire, the School of International Liberal Studies (SILS) offers a unique curriculum combining the best of Waseda University – its cultivated tradition and extensive network of educational assets – with the personalized, cultured scholarship of a liberal arts education, especially its signature emphasis on developing a multi-dimensional outlook and ability to think logically. Beyond the mind-expanding coursework, daily campus life provides a highly internationalized environment – with English as the lingua franca – for young students to exchange and synthesize the multitude of ideas that percolate from their diverse blend of cultures, backgrounds and languages. The school actively recruits international students, just as it encourages its own students to take advantage of the extensive worldwide network of affiliated universities participating in its study abroad program. Ultimately, SILS seeks to raise a generation of global citizens with the strong desire, profound ethical sensibility, and robust international competitiveness needed to take on today’s worldwide challenges. Steeped in humanity, SILS students soar on the wings of dreams.
