University of the Ryukyus

Japanese: 琉球大学 - りゅうきゅうだいがく
University of the Ryukyus

A national university corporation. Established in Okinawa under the US military administration in 1950, the university consisted of six faculties: English, Education, Social Science, Science, Agriculture, and Applied Liberal Arts. In 1972, when Okinawa was returned to Japan, it was transferred to a national university. Between 1977 and 1984, the campus was moved from the former Shuri Castle site in Naha City to a site spanning Nishihara Town and Nakagusuku Village. As of 2010, the university has seven faculties: Law and Letters, Tourism Science, Education, Science, Medicine, Engineering, and Agriculture. The graduate school has eight graduate schools: Humanities and Social Sciences, Education, Science and Engineering, Medicine, Health Science, Agriculture, Law, and Tourism Science. The Graduate School of Agriculture is a member of the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences at Kagoshima University. Affiliated education and research facilities include the Tropical Biosphere Research Center (national joint). In April 2004, with the enforcement of the National University Corporation Law, the university became a national university corporation. Its headquarters are located at 1 Senbaru, Nishihara-cho, Nakagami-gun, Okinawa Prefecture.
