The Nara Joshi Daigaku ( Japanese 奈良 女子 大学 , dt. Women's University Nara ) is a Japanese state university in Nara in the Nara prefecture . It is, along with Ochanomizu Joshi Daigaku , one of the two state women's universities in Japan.
history
The university was founded in 1908 as a higher normal school for women Nara ( 奈良 女子 高等 師範学校 , Nara joshi kōtō shihan gakkō ). It was the second state high school for women after Tokyo (founded in 1875) and educated the teachers at the girls' normal schools and middle schools in western Japan. The former main building of the higher normal school (built around 1908) still remains today as a memorial building.
In 1949 the school developed into the Nara Women's University, a university for women only and not a mixed (coeducational) university, which was what the graduates wanted. In addition to the women's university, there is only one state pedagogical university in the prefecture of Nara , one state technical university only with a graduate school (without a bachelor's degree), and prefectural or private universities.
