Shumei University was founded in 1988 and thus still is one of the “newer” universities in Japan. There are just over 2,000 students which enables the university to give personalized support and assistance to every student.

There are five faculties at the university: Faculty of Teacher Education, Faculty of Nursing, Faculty of Management and Governance, Faculty of Global Management*, and Faculty of Tourism and Business Management. Currently overseas students can enroll in all faculties except for the Faculty of Teacher Education and the Faculty of Nursing.
