The school was established in 1968 and adopted the present name in 2007, to reflect its nationwide character following the successful establishment of campuses in both Kobe and Tokyo (Shibuya). It is officially the Fukuoka campus of the Japan University of Economics which is run by the Tsuzuki Integrated Educational Corporation, a major supplier of higher education in Japan. Students live in one of two dormitories, called Oxford House and Cambridge House, to in honor of the famous Oxford and Cambridge universities. The current chancellor of the university is the daughter of Yasuhisa Tsuzuki, who had resigned to pursue private interests following allegations of molesting staff that were ultimately unproven in court but damaging nonetheless to the image of the institution. The university under the leadership of the new Chancellor, has gone on to become one of the three largest providers in Japan of education to overseas students.
