Bachelor of Science and Technology

The School of Science and Technology was established in 1989 with the reorganization of the old School of Engineering, which was founded in 1949. The guiding philosophy of the school is to merge science and engineering. At present, the school is comprised of eight departments—the Department of Electronics and Bioinformatics, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering Informatics, the Department of Architecture, the Department of Applied Chemistry, the Department of Computer Science, the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Physics—and the Office of General and Cultural Studies.

Meiji University was founded in January 1881 as the Meiji Law School by a group of young lawyers barely in their 30's: Tatsuo Kishimoto, Kozo Miyagi, and Misao Yashiro. It was an era characterized by Japan's urgent need to develop as a modern independent nation. The three founded the Meiji Law School in their fervent hope to "foster bright capable youths who would lead a modern civil society in Japan".

Meiji University ranks solidly among the best universities in Japan, currently consisting of 10 undergraduate schools, 12 graduate schools and four professional graduate schools.

In addition to the Surugadai Campus, Meiji University also comprises the Izumi Campus, Ikuta Campus, and the Nakano Campus newly opened in April, 2013.
