Tóm tắt
The International Christian University (ICU) is the leading liberal arts college in Japan with approximately 2,800 students and 152 full-time faculty members. It is pleasantly situated in a parkland-like campus on the outskirts of Tokyo. This chapter describes ICU’s history, the nature of its liberal arts education, and the challenges it now faces in the context of the Japanese higher education where specialized knowledge and skills are more favored than general education. The chapter also draws some conclusion for liberal arts higher education in East Asia. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Singapore.
