Keio University is a comprehensive academic enterprise with five major campuses in Japan, along with a number of affiliated academic institutions on or near these campuses. In addition, Keio University also operates a high school in New York.
Since its inception, Keio has continued to pursue Yukichi Fukuzawa's spirit of jitsugaku, which holds that one should not just acquire information from book learning, but should learn from real-life experiences in order to apply viable solutions to actual problems. Keio continues to pursue jitsugaku today, fostering forward-looking thinkers at its five major campuses.

This has been the main site of Keio University since it was moved here in 1871 from the site of Yukichi Fukuzawa's private school for Dutch studies, founded in 1858. The gothic, red-brick library built in 1912, a symbol of Keio University for nearly a century, now serves as an archive and venue for functions; it is recognized as an Important Cultural Property by the Japanese Government. More than 11,000 students are enrolled at the Mita Campus, which is home to four undergraduate faculties: Business & Commerce, Economics, Law (including Political Science), and Letters. Graduate students major in one of these four fields, or in Human Relations, or attend the Law School.
