Rikkyo University

Founded by Episcopalian Missionary Bishop Channing Moore Williams in 1874, Rikkyo University is one of Japan's oldest universities.

The Weekly Toyo Keizai, a major Japanese business magazine, has ranked Rikkyo's College of Business (COB) as the ninth-best business school for the past two years from among all the faculties and colleges of business and economics in Japan.

In recognition of COB's unique educational initiatives, Japan's Education Ministry honored three of the COB's educational programs with its prestigious "Good Practice Grants" in 2004 and 2008.

COB places great emphasis on nurturing teamwork and leadership skills in a bilingual learning envirnoment.

Students can choose from a wide array of courses in marketing, leadership, finance, CSR, international business and more. About 70% of the business concentration courses within the Department of Global Business are offered in English. Furthermore, business students have access to exchange programs with over 50 partner universities worldwide.

A dynamic multicultural learning environment where exchange students
and Rikkyo University students meet, interact, and learn from one another.
