history

The (older) University of Ōita was founded in 1949 through the merger of the three state schools:

• the Ōita business school ( 大分 経 済 専 門 学校 , Ōita keizai semmon gakkō , founded in 1921),
• the normal school Ōita ( 大分 師範学校 , Ōita shihan gakkō , founded in 1874), and
• the normal youth school Ōita ( 大分 青年 師範学校 , Ōita his shihan gakkō in Nakatsu , founded in 1923).

The business school Wirtschaftsita, the predecessor of the business faculty, was founded under the name Higher Commercial School Handelsita ( 大分 高等 商業 学校 , Ōita kōtō shōgyō gakkō ). It was the 8th oldest of the state higher commercial schools in Japan and was renamed Ōita Business School in 1944. Its campus was used by the Faculty of Economics until 1969, and since 1975 it has been the campus of the Ōita Prefectural College of Arts and Culture ( 大分 県 立 芸 術 文化 短期 大学 , Ōita-kenritsu geijutsu bunka tanki daigaku ).

The (older) university was opened with two faculties ( Liberal Arts and Economics). The Faculty of Liberal Arts was renamed the Faculty of Education in 1966, and then became the Faculty of Education and Welfare in 1999. In 1969 the faculties moved to the new Dannoharu campus. In 2003 the Medizinischeita Medical University ( 大分 医科大学 , Ōita ika daigaku , founded in 1976) was merged to form the new Ōita University.
