In 2017 Chuo University started its Global LEAP Program in cooperation with Chuo’s domestic and overseas partner universities as part of the “Global Initiatives” established under the “Chuo Vision 2025”, a ten-year development plan of Chuo University. This interdisciplinary educational program aims to foster students equipped with the abilities needed to play an active role in the globalizing Asian region, a strategic focus of Chuo University, in order to enhance students’ international career opportunities. The Global LEAP Program is a cooperative, active learning program through which, in the first semester, students can learn about Asia’s common challenges while studying Environment and Social Sustainability in the Global Lecture Series.
