Ibaraki Christian Education Community, based on Christian principles, was established in 1947. The following year Ibaraki Christian Junior College was formed. With the same spirit of Christian liberal arts education, Ibaraki Christian College of Literature was established in 1967. In 2000 the College of Life Science was added, then in 2004 the College of Nursing, and in 2011 the College of Business Administration was added. Since that time we have made every effort to strengthen our overall university programs. Graduate schools were also established. In 1995 the College of Literature set up two graduate programs, then in 2011 the College of Life Sciences and the Nursing College both set up graduate programs. Our institution of higher education is seeking to answer the needs of our community
