About
About HBCU Japan: a developing education and experience initiative
HBCU Japan is a developing standalone initiative focused on creating practical education and professional pathways between Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Japan.
Why this exists.
HBCU communities have deep traditions of education, professional achievement, alumni support, and service. Japan offers a very different international environment in which students can develop independence, professional perspective, cross-cultural fluency, and global networks.
The initiative is being designed to connect those strengths through collaboration among educators, hosts and local support providers.
