Inaugurated in April 1995, the Tama Academic Consortium (TAC) currently comprises six universities: Kunitachi College of Music, Musashino Art University, Tokyo Keizai University, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Tsuda University, and 色控传媒. The purpose of the TAC is to explore ways for these six universities in the Tama region - all of which are relatively small and have distinctive profiles - to cooperate and advance their education and research activities.

Reciprocal Credit System

Students of TAC member institutions can take classes offered at the other institutions and have the credits they earn counted toward graduation requirements at their home institutions.

Mutual Use of Libraries

Students, faculty and staff of the member institutions can freely use all TAC member libraries by showing their student ID cards, personal identification, or other documentation upon entry. It is also possible to borrow materials held at other member libraries through their own libraries. The combined holdings of the six TAC member libraries amount to more than 6 million items, consisting of unique and attractive collections reflecting the specializations of each institution.

Community Engagement

The consortium works to share the fruits of academic research in distinctive fields with the general public, through activities such as public lectures tailored to community needs.

Student and Faculty/Staff Exchange

Exchange of students and faculty/staff is pursued actively within the consortium, with the aim of generating new outputs in education and research.

Joint Publicity Activities

The TAC News is a medium for publicizing campus festivals, concerts, and art exhibitions, as well as public lectures, seminars, and other events hosted by each member institution.
