History[]
Fukushima University was established in 1949 by integrating three national colleges in Fukushima City: Fukushima College of Economics (福島経済専門学校, Fukushima keizai semmon gakkō, founded in 1921), Fukushima Normal School (福島師範学校, Fukushima shihan gakkō, founded in 1874) and Fukushima Youth Normal School (福島青年師範学校, Fukushima seinen shihan gakkō, founded in 1920).
The university at first consisted of two faculties: the Faculty of Liberal Arts (in Hamada-cho Campus) and the Faculty of Economics (in Moriai Campus).
