The university was established as a university in 1949 under the new School Education Law. Its predecessor dates back to 1906 and was supported by Koyata Iwasaki, the fourth head of the Mitsubishi zaibatsu. Before World War II, the institution was financially supported by donations from Mitsubishi Group. After World War II, it became independent from Mitsubishi Group after dissolution of the zaibatsu. However, Seikei University still has close connections with the Mitsubishi Group. This university has many graduates from families of noble or business backgrounds.

Marunouchi Business Training (MBT)
In the spring of 2013, Seikei University launched the Marunouchi Business Training (MBT) program for third-year students and first-year graduate students, with the main setting being Marunouchi, the business center of Tokyo. This is a seven-month, cross-disciplinary, industry-academia collaboration human resource development program that aims to build the foundation for the skills needed in society through thorough practical experience. After "on-campus preparatory training" to hone logical thinking skills and "Marunouchi training" where students work on assigned tasks under the guidance of company representatives, students participate in "internship training" at a company. Finally, they present the results of their assignments and internship to company representatives at the "Marunouchi Results Presentation." The cooperating companies are mainly from the Mitsubishi Group, which has close ties with Seikei University. A total of 21 companies participated in the program in 2013, and 23 in 2014. They come from a wide range of industries, including finance, trading, real estate, heavy industry, steel, non-ferrous metals, and automobiles, and are all major companies.
