Akira Takaoka's Company Details
J. F. Oberlin University is a private four-year university located in Machida, a suburb of Tokyo. It was founded in 1946 by Reverend Yasuzo Shimizu. Comprised of a College of Arts and Sciences and three professional colleges, as well as a graduate division, it offers degrees in a wide range of disciplines. Over 500 of the nearly 9,000 students come from overseas, giving the campus a very international atmosphere, and staff from various countries are experienced in helping foreign students. Conveniently near the big city but still peaceful enough to be conducive to study, J. F. Oberlin University seeks to foster global citizens on the basis of Christian values. This educational ideal is aimed not merely at imparting book knowledge to students while they are in school but at helping them to acquire a broad liberal arts education and the ability to make their own decisions.
