Kwansei Gakuin University and Seiwa University, both in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, signed a contract Wednesday to merge in April 2009.
The two universities will apply for the merger in May with the Education, Science and Technology Ministry.
The universities plan to set up a school of education and promote their educational continuity from kindergarten to university as a distinctive characteristic.
The presidents of both universities hope to contribute to society by creating a comprehensive school.
According to the merger contract, the universities plan to have two departments in the new school: a kindergarten and primary school education department that will accept 280 students and an education department for 70 students.
