In 1995 the Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts was established and KEI consisted of 2 universities, a junior and senior high school as well as 2 vocational schools. KEI has actively expanded in to various fields and for over 40 years seen success in education and research and in fields such as science, engineering, information, environment, medicine, the arts. In April of 2004 at the strong requests of the City of Choshi in Chiba Prefecture the Chiba Institute of Science was established with the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Risk & Crisis Management. The Faculty of Pharmacy aims to preserve and advance the health of each individual while improving the medical environment.
