Maple College

Lifelong learning for working adults

Maple College was established in 1999 as part of the community contribution activities of Yamanashi Eiwa University, which opened to the local community, anticipating the growing need for recurrent education (learning for working adults as part of lifelong learning). Since then, it has grown together with the local community as a place of learning that is loved, sought after, and where people gather.
As we move towards an era of 100-year lifespans, Maple College is working to transform itself to meet the growing intellectual curiosity and desire for fulfillment and purpose in life among working adults, while building on its traditions. We look forward to your participation in Maple College, which connects the community, university, and students.
