The University of Tokyo's Komaba Campus is unique among Japan's colleges. At this Campus, all students entering the University of Tokyo spend their first two years, exploring the various possibilities of the major fields they will choose. The Campus also has an upper division liberal arts major and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Junior Division for first and second year students and the Senior Division for third and fourth year students compose the College of Arts and Sciences, which has been the leader in Japan's liberal arts education since 1949. Especially since the 1990's when most national universities dismantled their liberal arts programs, the College's importance has been increasing more and more. In addition, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, featuring an educational and research system covering both the Humanities and Sciences, is noted for its new interdisciplinary research combined with its careful attention to more traditional disciplines.
