History
The university was founded in 1870 as a Kioritsu hospital. It was rebuilt in 1873 as the Niigata Private Hospital, which became the prefectural hospital in 1877 .
Five national medical schools were established in Chiba , Sendai , Okayama , Kanazawa and Nagasaki in 1901. Niigata's municipal and prefectural governments demanded that the Ministry of Education establish a National Medical School, but this plan was delayed due to the Russo-Japanese War . Later in 1910 , the Niigata Medical School was founded, and the former Niigata Hospital became its clinical institution. In 1922 , the School of Medicine was chartered as a Niigata College of Medicine. [four]
Niigata's municipal and prefectural governments and local industrial firms also wanted the medical college to be transformed into an imperial university (the so-called Hokuriku University) and compete with Kanazawa . But the trials were unsuccessful until the end of World War II .
In 1949 , seven different colleges were merged into Niigata University as part of Japan's new educational system. The university was opened with the faculties of humanities, education , science , medicine , engineering and agriculture.
In 1965 , the Faculty of Dentistry was established. Faculties (with the exception of medicine and dentistry) began to move to the new Ikarashi campus in 1968 .. In 1977 , the liberal arts faculty was reorganized into the faculty of law and literature, and in 1980 it was divided into humanitarian , legal and economic faculties. In 2004 , the university became a national university corporation, and in 2017 a college of creative studies was created.
