It is a private institution. Its origins lie in the Doshisha English School, which was established in 1875 (Meiji 8) by Niijima Jo, who returned from studying in the United States, with the cooperation of Jerome Dean Davis (1838-1910), a missionary sent by the American Board, and Kyoto Prefecture advisor Yamamoto Kakuma (1828-1892). In 1904, it opened as a technical school. In 1920 (Taisho 9), it became a university under the University Act, with a preparatory school, a faculty of law, a faculty of literature, and a graduate school. In 1948 (Showa 23), it transitioned to a new university system. As of 2010, the university has faculties of Theology, Literature, Sociology, Law, Economics, Commerce, Policy Studies, Culture and Information Studies, Science and Engineering, Life and Medical Sciences, Sports and Health Sciences, and Psychology, as well as graduate schools of Theology, Literature, Sociology, Law, Economics, Commerce, Engineering, Policy Studies, Culture and Information Studies, Law, Business, Life and Medical Sciences, Sports and Health Sciences, Psychology, and Global Studies. It also has a Humanities Research Institute, Science and Engineering Research Institute, and American Research Institute. The founding purpose of the university is "We do not doubt that a university established by the government is truly beneficial, but we believe that a university established by the people will have a truly great influence on the people," and it is a prestigious private school based on Christian principles. International exchanges are also active with schools such as Amherst College in Massachusetts, the United States, which Niijima modeled his school on. The headquarters is at 601 Genbu-cho, Karasuma Higashi-iru, Imadegawa-dori, Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City.

Since its founding in 1875 (Meiji 8), the campus has retained many brick buildings from the Meiji period, such as the chapel and Clark Memorial Hall.
