Musashi University 's Global Education Policy

Musashi University Global Education Policy (hereafter MGP) builds on Musashi University’s principal educational goals as well as Musashi University’s “New Vision” which clarifies our mission to educate global leaders of sufficient knowledge, skills and abilities.
  1. Promoting the intercultural understanding
  2. Providing opportunities for collaborative learning with others of diverse backgrounds
  3. Cultivating abilities to think, interact, and empathize
In order to reach these three goals outlined in MGP, all Musashi University students should aspire to strengthen their abilities and, as graduates, seek to contribute to society and take an active interest in solving issues of mutual concern.

Specifically, Musashi University supports the following three aspects:
i. Broadening knowledge of diverse cultures
ii. Improving communication skills in foreign languages
