The college's mission is "nurturing women who are capable of displaying dignity, elegance, independence, and self-management."

The college's predecessor institution, the Jissen Girls' School, was established in Kōjimachi, Tokyo in 1899.

The college was located in Tokiwamatsu Town, Shibuya City and consisted of one academic department—Home Economics.

It moved to the former site of Shukutoku Gakuen Junior College in Matsubushi Town, Kita-Katsushika District, Saitama Prefecture in 1972.

As of 2020, the college also offers summer overseas language training in Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Malaysia, South Korea, and the United States.

Many graduates from the junior college transfer to Jissen Women's University which offers a continuation of studies in similar academic departments.

Campus-wide events include the annual Tokiwa Festival, concerts, and talk shows featuring celebrities and comedy.
