University of the Ryukyus Details
The University of the Ryukyus (琉球大学 Ryūkyū Daigaku), abbreviated to Ryūdai (琉大), is a national university of Japan in Okinawa Prefecture. It is located in the Senbaru neighborhood of the town of Nishihara, with its campus bordering both the village of Nakagusuku and the city of Ginowan. It is the westernmost national university of Japan and the largest public university in Okinawa Prefecture.Under the auspices of the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands, the University of the Ryukyus was founded, as a territorial university, on the site of the historic Shuri Castle in Naha on May 22, 1950. It was established under the guidance of Michigan State University. It was placed under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Ryukyu Islands in 1966.Ryūdai became a Japanese national university on May 15, 1972, upon Okinawa's return to Japan. The university moved to its current campus during 1975 and 1984. The relocation allowed for the restoration of the castle. The university was a state-run university from 1972 until 2004, when it was reclassified as a 'national university corporation' after the Japanese government made changes to the national university system.Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_the_RyukyusNote:Temporary, I have claimed this page as a volunteer endeavor, as soon as any administration staff of University of the Ryukyus wants to take this responsibility please let me know.Sincerely,DANISH Mir Sayed Shah (Dr. Eng.
