Showa Women's University (Setagaya-ku, Tokyo) and Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ, Minato-ku, Tokyo), the Japanese school of Temple University, Pennsylvania, USA, will build a new 6-story building on the Showa Women's University campus. However, a basic agreement was reached to share it between the two universities. TUJ plans to relocate the program to its new school building in all faculties in September 2019, and will use the existing facilities of Showa Women's University for sports facilities, cafeterias, lecture halls, etc.This is the first attempt in Japan to place campuses in Japan and the United States on the same site.

 TUJ, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary as the first overseas university in Japan, has more than 2016 students in 1000.This move was based on the common philosophy of globalizing the university and improving the quality of university education, following a proposal from Showa Women's University for TUJ, which was required to increase the number of classrooms and improve facilities and equipment as the number of undergraduate students increased. Realized in.
 
 The two universities signed a credit transfer agreement in June 2016, and more than 6 students have been studying abroad with each other since the agreement.The relocation will make it easier for students from taking lectures with each other because the school buildings are adjacent to each other, and will create a global environment where multinational students can interact on campus.

 Showa Women's University will open facilities to students from more than 60 countries and regions enrolled in TUJ, and will accept male students to take courses.While maintaining its mission and identity as a women's university, it will accelerate globalization at once by changing to a campus full of diversity where foreign students can gather.

 In the future, we will discuss a double degree program to obtain bachelor's degrees from both universities and a two-university collaboration program, as well as joint activities such as club activities and extracurricular activities.The faculty and staff will also interact with each other through joint workshops and research projects.
