Overview

The university was established as a university in 1949 under the new School Education Law. Its predecessor dates back to 1906 and was supported by Koyata Iwasaki, the fourth head of the Mitsubishi zaibatsu.[citation needed] Before World War II, the institution was financially supported by donations from Mitsubishi Group. After World War II, it became independent from Mitsubishi Group after dissolution of the zaibatsu. However, Seikei University still has close connections with the Mitsubishi Group. This university has many graduates from families of noble or business backgrounds.

The university is one of the Tokyo Four Universities (Seikei, Musashi, Seijo, Gakushuin), the grouping of universities that evolved from pre-war high schools.
