International Christian University (国際基督教大学 Kokusai Kirisutokyō Daigaku?) is a non-denominational private university located in Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. Commonly known as ICU (both within Japan and abroad), the university was founded in 1949.

With an emphasis on liberal arts, it is regarded as one of Japan's leading private universities, known for its high integrity and effectiveness, with consistently high ratings from students and peer institutions.[citation needed]

It is the only liberal arts college in Japan that originated from the traditional American system. The university was accredited by the American Academy for Liberal Education in 2005.

ICU offers bachelor's degrees in liberal arts fields, as well as master's and doctoral degrees in education, public administration, comparative culture, and natural sciences. 30% of the faculty come from overseas (primarily English-speaking countries).

ICU houses one of the Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution, partnering with Rotary International.

As of October 1, 2006, ICU has 2,769 undergraduates and 231 graduate students. 92.4% are Japanese citizens; the remainder come from a broad array of countries on all continents. [1]

The Japan ICU Foundation was incorporated in New York State on November 23, 1948. The Foundation, with offices in New York, helped in the effort to establish ICU in 1953. Today, the foundation maintains two non-profit corporations: The Japan ICU Foundation, Inc. and the JICUF Endowment, Inc.
