The International College of Liberal Arts (iCLA) is a four- year, American style liberal arts college where the primary language of instruction is English. Students can choose from a wide array of courses as part of an innovative curriculum which leads to a bachelor’s degree in International Liberal Arts. Just 90 minutes west of Tokyo, iCLA combines a multi-cultural learning environment with a beautifully traditional Japanese setting in the shadow of Mt Fuji. iCLA offers students the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the very essence of Japanese culture, whilst acquiring a contemporary and globally relevant education at our state-of-the-art facilities.
iCLA takes pride in bringing together a very diverse student body through its extensive partnership program extending across over thirty countries. This diversity uniquely trains our students to grow, makes them adaptable to new cultures, helps in refining their perspective, and in bringing a better understanding of one’s own belief by considering diverse and dissenting opinions. As a liberal arts college, we are committed to a broad education with a curriculum that is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Small interactive classes are at the core of our pedagogical approach. Low faculty-to-student ratios foster close connections between instructors and students and enhance communication and collaboration among students themselves.

Our residential campus provides a cross-cultural living experience, ensuring that the themes of internationalization and globalization run throughout life at iCLA, not just in the classroom.
