Waseda University is embarking on the next phase of its long-term strategic development; one that all of today’s universities are beholden to accept in order to remain globally competitive. Designed to firmly establish Waseda as Asia’s leading university, this next phase will be executed as Waseda Vision 150.
Vision Statement
Waseda Vision 150 was named to mark the 150th-year anniversary of the University’s establishment twenty years from now in 2032 and is a composite of the following four visions:
- Attract students of the highest caliber and character from around the world to Waseda University who show promise in being able to contribute to the world.
- Conduct research that will ultimately contribute to real world peace and happiness in human society.
- Cultivate graduates (alumni) who, in all corners of the globe, and in every academic field, will contribute to the public good as global leaders, and who will continue to support an active and intimate collaborative network with Waseda University.
- Establish an organizational and management structure that will transform Waseda University into Asia’s premier “model university.”
Essentially, Waseda Vision 150 serves as our road map as we think about “What do we need to accomplish at present?” and “What can we accomplish?” It details thirteen (13) Core Strategies, as well as specific Vision 150 Projects and other initiatives that are aimed at achieving these strategies.
