Entering its 60th academic year, Yamagata University will hold a commemorative ceremony to recognize and celebrate its history and tradition.
Originating as a Normal School in 1878, Yamagata University was established as a national university with four faculties in 1949 when the major federal regulation in higher education came into effect. Since then the University has grown to become a leading comprehensive public institution in north Japan with its enrollment of about 10,000 students at six faculties and six graduate schools. With its student-centered approaches to education, YU continues to work hard to provide students with quality education in order to establish itself as an institution with shining presence.
