History

Surugadai University was founded by {{nihongo|Haruyuki Yamazaki|山崎春之}} (1926-2010). His father, {{nihongo|Toshiharu Yamazaki|山崎寿春}}, was one of the early Japanese students studying abroad in the Meiji period. He was accomplished as a Harvard- and Yale-trained scholar of English literature and a professor of Meiji University. Toshiharu successfully established a cram school, Sundai Preparatory School for high school students and had a lifelong dream of establishing an American-style liberal arts college in Japan.

Taking over the cram school and following his father's wishes, Haruyuki established Surugadai University as a college of law in 1987.{{cite web | author=Surugadai University | title=Chronology | url=http://www.surugadai.ac.jp/english/about/chronology.html | publisher=Surugadai University | access-date=2012-08-08}}

Since then, the college has evolved into a university of five undergraduate faculties and four graduate schools.{{cite web | author=Surugadai University | title=Faculties | url=http://www.surugadai.ac.jp/english/faculty/ | publisher=Surugadai University | access-date=2012-08-08}}
