History
In succession to a design of Chairperson Tsunesaburo Makiguchi Soka Gakkai (former: Soka education society) first generation, SUA was established at first in カラバサス () of California as "Soka University Los Angeles branch school" in 1987 by Daisaku Ikeda Soka Gakkai international (SGI) chairperson. It was the small graduate school of the site called 2.38 km2 first. There was this place formerly in the community of the Native American called the Chumash (Chumash people). However, after being going to expand the site because SUA establishes a university, I am objected to by an environmental group protecting the soil of the Chumash tradition.
SUA will in this way move the position of the university. In 1995, the university studies purchase land in the California orange county アリソ ヴィエホ city. 18 buildings are built in the new campus; is open studies on May 3, 2001. On August 24, the same year, 120 first students entered it as an undergraduate. The graduate school in accord with カラバサス was merged in 2005 by SUA, too.
I ran from 2005 through 2007, and the first third grade graduated. It was very high, and, as for the graduation rate, students more than a one-third entered a school of higher grade more to the graduate school with 90%. In addition, according to Peterson's Guide to Four Year Colleges of 2008, 38% of SUA graduates entered the graduate school.
The graduate enters a school of higher grade in Cambridge University, Carnegie Mellon University, a Columbia University teachers college (), duke University, Harvard University, Hawaiian university Manoah school law school (), Indiana University, London school of economics, New York University, Georgetown Washington University, Oxford University, Stanford University, Saint Jones University, the University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, San Diego, University of California Irvine school, Liverpool University, Maryland University balti more school () law school (), Pittsburgh University, University of Southern California, University of Wisconsin madison school, Vanderbilt University, Yale University, many prestigious schools including Pennsylvania University.
Characteristic
The ratio of the number of Professor several pairs of students is 9:1, and a student is the small discussion form center of an average of 13, and a class is pushed forward in one class.
Half of students is from the United States, and the remaining half comes over from Japan, India, Thailand, China, Korea, Germany, Italy, British (I include Scotland) New Zealand, Turkey, Mexico, Chile, six continents including Peru, the country more than 30.
The SUA's greatest characteristics include the scholarship system. The student that an excellent student needs a merit base, the help of school expenses is given two kinds of scholarships of the need base in SUA. In 2010, 90% of domestic and foreign students were paid a scholarship of 8 million dollars (a merit base more than 5 million dollars with a need base more than 3 million dollars) when they added it up.
Furthermore, a new system called the Soka Opportunity scholarship (Soka Opportunity Scholarship, SOS) was introduced, and school expenses became the exemption when a domestic income was in this way less than 60,000 dollars (but dormitory charge and the food expenses are not included in this); [3].
Department, graduate course
Curriculum
A class is developed by the viewpoint that let the Orient and the West fuse in general dogmatics (liberal arts) in the department. Other than basic education curricula such as philosophy, the history, the humanities, science, art, the communication, the student can choose one of four following programs as a department:
- International study (International Studies)
- The humanities (Humanities)
- Society, ethology (Social Behavioral Science)
- Environmentology (Environmental Studies)
In addition, I choose two departments and can graduate (double concentration).
Learning cluster
One of the characteristics of SUA includes a learning cluster (Learning Cluster). By the program about current topics for three weeks, a student prepares a class in cooperation with a teacher by oneself from a first semester and builds this. A purpose of the learning cluster is that I bring up a student becoming able to arrive at a proficient reply for current topics, ability for research and a critical intellectual power and to promote smartness-like participation in world. Therefore, by a scholarship of Luis & Linda Nieves Family Foundation, a training trip in the American inside and outside the country (mainly Central and South America, China, India) is possible depending on a class.
Studying abroad
All SUA student is obliged to carry out the studying abroad to the country corresponding to the language that oneself learns between 1 semester. The expense of this time is included in school expenses. Studying abroad is a Spanish area; in Madrid, Barcelona, Spain, Jalapa including Seville of Mexico, Quito, Ecuador, the Chinese zone including Costa Rican San Jose including Taipei of Chinese Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan (the Republic of China) is Japanese again, and is Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka. By a program to support, the student lives in homestay and a student dormitory.
Graduate school
There was the program of the graduate school in SUA in the past and was able to acquire the degree of the master called "Teaching English as a Second Language" (TESL) by the program to teach English as a second language. The ratio of the student vs. the professor was 6:1 by this program, and the tenth graduate graduated in 2006. A master program called "Educational Leadership and Societal Change" is offered newly from August, 2014. This program is offered to a doctorate for a student in hope of entrance into a school of higher grade as a leader of field of education. [4]I am examining it in future to increase further programs.
Student life
SUA is a boarding university, and the student sends dormitory life unless I do special application.
There is a club (circle activity to say in Japan) where there is many it including other volunteer activity "Katz in クロウンス" (Cats in Crowns) (jazz), kendo, "circle, K(Circle K)" "カピリナ ホーロカヒ" (Ka'Pilina Ho'olokahi) (Hawaiian Polynesian dance), "sole wings" (Soul Wings) (chorus), "instant lei Dio" (Instant Radio) "a humanism in action" (Humanism in Action) "keeping sole" (Keep Soul) "a ヴァイタ Rion's Philharmonic orchestra orchestra" (Vita Leones Philharmonic Orchestra) (band) "sole Shiro's (Sualseros)" (salsa dance), "Riz mission (Rhythmission)" (hip-hop dance), "ガングルー () (Ghungroo)" (Indian classic dancing ), "Joe show Daiko" (Josho Daiko) (sum drum group), "stew Dent movement four nu clear ディサーマメント ()" (Student Movement for Nuclear Disarmament) (antinuclear movement), "a scuba diving equipment club" (Scuba Club) "parts" (The Pearl) (the news magazine which the student produces), "model united ネイションズ" (Model United Nations) in SUA.
In addition, there is a student council called "Soka Student Union(SSU)" in SUA, and nine committees hold an important decision right in a policy of SUA and take responsibility. Executive committee (Executive Council), club council (Club Senate), scholar Committee (Academic Department), person in charge three (only in the executive committee five) of the Committee on Environment (Environmental Department) are produced by the election, and by graduation Committee (Graduation Department), history Committee (History Department), spirit committee (Spirit Department), SSU publication (SSU Publications) and person in charge for each three of the Soka relations committee (Soka Relations) are selected by the incumbent executive committee officer.
It is hosted by a club council and holds event "Horne Ted house" (Haunted House, haunted house) of the Halloween every year for community from 2002.
In addition, I started the holding of the university festival "international festival" (International Festival) in the same year every year on first Saturday of May. By this event, the performance (including the performance of the student) of each country more than 600 is held on three stages. The executive committee for this event is established by a person in charge and a student of SSU, too.
Ranking
With the U.S. News & World Report of 2015, was chosen as the 41st place in a liberal arts college of the United States [5]; (in 14 in 41st place, 13 in 49th place, 12 the 64th place).
The オクシデンタル University where the Barack Obama 44th charges President went to in the same order in 14 lowered the rank to the 44th place in 15, but SUA maintained a position 41st place, and it was in noble family mount Hori York University and union University () and the same order that were a corner of the Seven Sisters. In the ranking, the position as TOP10 (the seventh place) becomes immovable in TOP50, the West Coast in a domestic liberal arts college.
In addition, according to the ranking, I was chosen as the fifth place in "Best Value School" of the liberal arts section (the 14 years .15 year). Super noble Amherst University, Williams University, Pomona University, Wellesley University form a line on SUA. Harvard University, Princeton University, Yale University, Stanford University, MIT were higher five schools in similar general section.
I was ranked the ninth place in a domestic general ranking (including the liberal arts college) in the ranking called "College Factual" in 56th place, California [6].
Besides, in a ranking called "the Happiest Freshmen" where the graduation rate of the university and the ratio of students who go on to college from the first year to the second year were made by the cause, I was chosen as the third place next to Yale University, University of Chicago in one of all universities including the liberal arts in the United States [7]. Because I follow with Princeton University, Amherst University, Stanford University after SUA, I grow up in the level that is by no means inferior to a prestigious school of the world's highest mountain.
It is about an exceptional case in the United States I see it for ten open studies only several years, and to be ranked the high rank in such a ranking.
