[Tokyo, Japan] – Exchange Student Program at Meiji University for Spring 2023

Warm Greetings from Meiji University, Japan!

Meiji University was founded in January 1881 as the Meiji Law School by a group of young lawyers barely in their 30’s. It was an era characterized by Japan’s urgent need to develop as a modern independent nation. The three founded the Meiji Law School in their fervent hope to “foster bright capable youths who would lead modern civil society in Japan”. Until now, Meiji University has expanded to become one of the most prominent private universities in Japan, and it is celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2021.
