101KOBE GAKUIN UNIVERSITYKOBE GAKUIN UNIVERSITYThis educational institution was founded in 1912. The founder, MORI Wasa, believed that there was an urgent need for moral education for women and established the private Mori Sewing School for Girls in Hyogo-ku, Kobe City. The objectives of the school were to provide with education of the spirit with the aim of education such as the cultivation of the mind, strength, and people that are truly useful to society. While Wasa Mori then had been continuing strict training and diligent study by herself she nurtured women that possessed original virtues of Japanese women with conviction. As a result, the school prospered, and in 1918 it was renamed the Mori School for Girls. It coped with the social conditions after World War Ⅰ, and in 1923, the Mori Girls’ High School was also founded and more effort was put into the education of girls. In 1936, at a new school site in Egeyama-cho, Hyogo-ku, Kobe City its moved into newly built school buildings. During the difficult times of war, it continued education of women with conviction.According to the educational structure was completely changed after World War Ⅱ, the name was changed to the Kobe Mori Girls’ High School and Junior High School. The organization was reorganized to become an educational foundation. Carrying on the spirit of the founder, efforts were made to further enrich and develop the educational foundation, which contributed female education after the war.After that, as the trend in the establishment of universities increased, an application for the establishment of a junior college with a domestic science evening course was made to the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (currently: the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) in 1951. This application was made on consideration of the situation of the educational facilities and the fact that there were few junior colleges or higher education for women providing night course in Kobe City. As the Authorization was granted, the Kobe Mori Women’s Junior College was established in March of the following year, 1952.In 1966, Kobe Gakuin University was founded in Ikawadani-cho, Tarumi-ku, Kobe City (currently: Ikawadani-cho, Nishi-ku, Kobe City), under MORI Shigeki as the first president.

This Long-Term Vision and Grand Mission are supported by our "aspiration to connect with the community." Throughout our daily efforts, we aim to actively engage in joint projects with industrial fields, administrations, and local residents in our community, and by incorporating what we gain there into our curricular and extracurricular educational programs, we aim to both improve learning results for our students and achieve social growth for the university itself.Having established and implemented our "Mid-Term Action Plan," which began in AY2013, we have begun moving toward our "Third Mid-Term Action Plan" in AY2023. In 2026, which is covered by this "Third Mid-Term Action Plan," we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the university's founding. Construction of Building 1 on Arise Campus, which is our mother campus, is also scheduled to finish during this milestone year. We hope you look forward to the completion of this new building, which will be a spot for lively interaction.As Japan faces a decreasing birth rate and shrinking population on an unprecedented level, society demands that we take on new challenges without being constrained by the common sense of the past. The driving force behind those efforts will be the students who are learning now. Whenever we faculty members interact with students through curricular and extracurricular activities, we can feel their energy. We often encounter situations that remind us how we adults find reasons something cannot be done, but the students find methods to make it possible. These moments renew our inspiration. I believe it to be the mission of Kobe Gakuin University to provide a range of support so that these students can become human resources with the capability to know common sense, doubt common sense, and think independently to create a new era. To that end, we faculty members will also strive to find methods to make something possible and then to put those methods into practice. We ask for your continued understanding and support.HistoryBISHU NobuhikoAiming to Cultivate Human Resources Who Know Common Sense, Doubt Common Sense, and Think Independently to Create a New EraIn 1966, Kobe Gakuin University was founded under our first President, MORI Shigeki, on the philosophy of "shinri-aikō kosei-sonchō" (love of truth and respect for individuality). Initially, it offered only one course of study in the Faculty of Nutrition. Now, more than half a century later, we have expanded to become one of the largest private universities in Kobe City to offer programs combining the humanities and sciences, with two distinct campuses in Kobe City, ten faculties and eight graduate schools, and a total of more than 11,000 students. More than 100,000 students have graduated from the university or completed graduate school courses, and they are actively contributing to not only industrial fields, public service fields such as national and municipal governments, NPOs and NGOs, and educational fields, but also to sports, entertainment, and a wide range of other fields.
