The philosophy of The University of Nagano
The University of Nagano aims to be a university that creates and develops a better future for humanity by serving as the foundation of knowledge in Nagano Prefecture, producing leaders who will forge the future, and disseminating research results that enable sustainable development worldwide.
Mission of The University of Nagano
We cultivate leaders who can think for themselves, learn independently, act proactively, seek opportunities for growth around the world, meet innovators from all over the globe, forge the future with a global perspective, and revitalize their communities.
1. Producing leaders
Through a broad and enriching liberal arts education, highly practical and advanced specialized education, and holistic education including dormitory life and overseas training, we cultivate leaders equipped with diverse qualities and abilities to lead the new era.
2. Regional Innovation
Through understanding and cherishing Nagano Prefecture's rich natural environment, long history, and traditions, we aim to become a "center of knowledge" that revitalizes the prefecture's industry, culture, and lifestyle, and to be a university that is open to the community and walks hand in hand with it.
3. Global outreach
With a healthy critical spirit, we promote not only cutting-edge research but also interdisciplinary research based on Nagano Prefecture's industries and culture, creating new knowledge, returning the results to the region, and disseminating it from Nagano to the world.
