The Ichikawa University Consortium was established in November 2018 by five higher education institutions located in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, with the aim of collaborating in a wide range of fields while utilizing educational resources and functions, improving the quality of education and research, and contributing to the development of the local community.
Furthermore, in order to address local issues with the aim of developing Ichikawa City, the University Consortium Ichikawa has concluded a comprehensive agreement on industry-government-academia collaboration with Ichikawa City and the Ichikawa Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and formed the University Consortium Ichikawa Industry-Government-Academic Collaboration Platform.

General Subject "Ichikawa Studies" (Intensive Course)
The common subjects "Ichikawa Studies I" and "Ichikawa Studies II" are classes jointly developed by the five universities participating in the Ichikawa University Consortium and are available to students enrolled at participating universities. These classes are offered as intensive courses with the aim of deepening understanding of Ichikawa city, including its history and culture. The course content is unique to the Ichikawa University Consortium, and includes classes by professors from other universities and on-site surveys mainly within Ichikawa city. Students can watch videos of the classes after the class has finished (e-learning system).
