International Christian University (ICU) was founded in 1949 as a unique experiment in international and Christian education during the unsettled period after the end of the Second World War. For more than 50 years, the University has prospered as a beacon of openness, constructive change, and enthusiastic multiculturalism. Today, ICU is a recognized leader in international education and is known in Japan for its emphasis on academic excellence.As such, starting in September, 2002, ICU was designated as one of seven Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution throughout the world. Each year ICU accommodates up to ten Rotary Peace Fellows who pursue a two-year master’s level degree in peace studies and conflict resolution.
The Rotary Centers provide opportunities for fellows to study methods to deal effectively with obstacles, such as war, famine, poverty and disease that currently impede international cooperation and peace.
The Rotary Centers also aim to advance knowledge on issues of peace and conflict resolution in order to help cultivate the next generation of community and world leaders.
