Tokai University's school foundation was established in 1942. The following year, in what was then Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, its predecessor, an aeronautical science school, was opened. In 1946 the university was authorized under the former university ordinance. The university authorization application submitted to the then Ministry of Education stated that it would have students grasp a firm view of history, the state, and the world through a fusion of the humanities and natural sciences; this became the university's "fusion of humanities and sciences" educational philosophy. Based on this founding ideal and spirit set out by founder Shigeyoshi Matsumae, the university aims to develop people with broad perspectives and flexible thinking rather than an education weighted toward knowledge. It describes itself as a comprehensive university with human resources, knowledge, technology, and functions as an educational and research institution, with campuses nationwide, continually promoting educational reform and engaging in the latest research while working to return the results to society.
