St. Luke's College of Nursing, associated with the one hundred year old St. Luke's International Hospital, began as a diploma school. Now it is a four-year college awarding the master and doctoral degrees. The traditions and philosophy of the college reflect the Christian motto of love. The symbol of the college is the cross at the top of the tower of the chapel, a beacon and landmark in Japan since 1933. Our new building, completed in 1996, stands beside it as a place for learning and research. St. Luke's College of Nursing welcomes women and men seeking to study and practice nursing with sensitivity and love. And, the college welcomes highly knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled nurses for advanced education to become teachers, researchers and leaders in the development of nursing and health care, nationally and also globally.

St. Luke's College of Nursing has more than 80 years history and has been a forerunner in nursing education. Our graduates have been highly evaluated for their abilities as nurses offering nursing of high quality, as leaders of nursing educators, and as participants in political and governmental activities. Now for the next generation, we consider once again the roles of nursing in society and ways to ensure the confirmation of our profession. What is clear is that women and men who enter nursing will become full partners in the design and delivery of 21st century health care. We are waiting to welcome women and men full of love, creativity, and pioneer spirit.
