Ochanomizu University - Ochanomizu University

Japanese: お茶の水女子大学 - おちゃのみずじょしだいがく
Ochanomizu University - Ochanomizu University

A national university corporation. Its predecessor was the government-run Tokyo Women's Normal School, established in Ochanomizu, Kanda, Tokyo in 1874 (Meiji 7). It became the Women's Higher Normal School in 1890 and the Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School in 1908 (Meiji 41). Along with the Nara Women's Higher Normal School in the west, it made a major impact in training female secondary school teachers before the Second World War. In 1949 (Showa 24), it was established as a new national university and renamed Ochanomizu University after its birthplace. After the war, it no longer aimed directly at training secondary school teachers, but instead has been a high-education institution for women, sending excellent human resources to various fields. As of 2010 (Heisei 22), it has three faculties: the Faculty of Letters and Education, the Faculty of Science, and the Faculty of Life Sciences. The Graduate School of Humanities, established in 1976 (reorganized as the Graduate School of Humanities and Sciences in 2007), is attracting attention as a unique doctoral program. It has affiliated educational and research facilities such as the Gulf Biological Education and Research Center, the Gender Studies Center, and the Living Environment Education and Research Center, as well as an affiliated kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school. In April 2004, with the enforcement of the National University Corporation Law, it became a national university corporation. It is located at 2-1-1 Otsuka, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.

国立大学法人。1874年(明治7)東京・神田御茶ノ水に設立された官立東京女子師範学校が前身。1890年女子高等師範学校、1908年(明治41)東京女子高等師範学校となり、第二次世界大戦前における女子中等教員の養成に、西の奈良女子高等師範学校とともに大きな足跡を残した。1949年(昭和24)新制国立大学として発足し、校名も発祥の地にちなみ、お茶の水女子大学と改称した。戦後は中等教員養成を直接の目的とせず、広く女子の高等教育機関として各界に優れた人材を送ってきた。2010年(平成22)時点で、文教育学部、理学部、生活科学部の3学部が置かれている。1976年に設置された人間文化研究科(2007年人間文化創成科学研究科に改組)は独自の博士課程大学院として注目を集めている。湾岸生物教育研究センター、ジェンダー研究センター、生活環境教育研究センターなどの附属教育研究施設や、附属幼稚園、小学校、中学校、高等学校がある。2004年4月、国立大学法人法の施行に伴い、国立大学法人となる。所在地は東京都文京区大塚2-1-1。
