Surugadai University (駿河台大学, Surugadai daigaku) is a private university in Hannō, Saitama, Japan, established in 1987. Aiming to produce people who can contribute to today's internationalized, information-oriented society, the university places emphasis on thorough small-class teaching, foreign language education, acquisition of rich computer skills, and preparation for certifying examinations. [3]
History
Surugadai University was founded by Haruyuki Yamazaki (山崎春之) (1926-2010). His father, Toshiharu Yamazaki (山崎寿春), was one of the early Japanese students studying abroad in the Meiji period. He was accomplished as a Harvard- and Yale-trained scholar of English literature and a professor of Meiji University. Toshiharu successfully established a cram school, Sundai Preparatory School for high school students and had a lifelong dream of establishing an American-style liberal arts college in Japan.
Taking over the cram school and following his father's wishes, Haruyuki established Surugadai University as a college of law in 1987. [4]
Since then, the college has evolved into a university of five undergraduate faculties and four graduate schools. [5]
