Welcome to Soka University of America
Developing Wisdom
Soka faculty will help develop your ability to think critically and communicate effectively so you can lead with wisdom. A 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio and average undergraduate class size of 12 enable you to build close relationships.
Cultivating Courage
Encountering and learning from people in different cultures will challenge you to transcend your limitations. Undergraduates are required to study a non-native language and apply it during a study abroad semester in a country where that language is spoken.
