History and Milestones | About | NUCB International College

MISSION & VISION

The founder, Dr. Yuichi Kurimoto, was the first international student to graduate from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta, Canada in 1930. Upon his return to Japan, he recognized that education system in Japan had been limited, and so he decided to make it available to the Japanese youth of the day.
