is a private university in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, Japan.
The predecessor of the school was founded in 1872, and it was chartered as a women's junior college in 1964. The school's emblem (a stylized plum blossom) and kanji name reflect the names of the two schools merged to form Baiko Gakuin.
In 1967, the school began to operate as a four-year college, which became co-ed in 2001; the women's junior college continued to run within the university until 2006, when it was dissolved and its operations folded into the university. The school has a long affiliation with its namesake women's junior high and high school, Baiko jo Gakuin, also in Shimonoseki.
The school's Latin motto ut filii lucis ambulate ('let us walk as children of light'), drawn from Ephesians 5:8,[1] reflects the Christian influence on its founding, an influence still reflected today in its daily chapel services and hospitality to Christian teachers.
