It is a private institution. It was founded in 1953 (Showa 28) through half a century of donations from Japanese, American, and Canadian Christians, with the idea of ​​establishing an international university based on Christian principles. It is abbreviated as ICU, which stands for International Christian University. It is said that the donations from overseas are a reflection of regret and atonement for the atomic bombing of Japan. ICU's educational structure incorporates the ideals of American liberal arts, and as of 2010 (Heisei 22) it has a Department of Arts and Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and a Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Japanese:

私立。キリスト教精神に徹した国際性をもつ大学を設立しようとの構想のもとに、日本人やアメリカ合衆国、カナダのキリスト教徒の半世紀にわたる募金によって、1953年(昭和28)創設された。International Christian Universityの英語名からICUと略称される。国外からの募金援助は、日本への原爆投下に対する悔恨と贖罪(しょくざい)の願いが込められているといわれる。ICUの教育組織はアメリカのリベラルアーツの理念が取り入れられ、2010年(平成22)時点で、教養学部アーツ・サイエンス学科と、大学院アーツ・サイエンス研究科をもつ。原則としてキリスト教徒の国際色豊かな教授陣、日本語と英語の常用、海外諸大学との国際交流を特徴としている。所在地は東京都三鷹(みたか)市大沢3-10-2。
