General Education
General EducationIn order to be an international person, you need a good command of languages plus a good general education. You must be able to change the content and way of expression to meet the purpose of the communication. Attitude, ability, basic knowledge and humanitarian ideas are also required for cross-cultural understanding. We want to help our students broaden their basic knowledge. By cultivating rational and ethical thinking, we want to train and encourage them to have their own opinions and be able to express them.
An important characteristic of the General Education department at our university is that we have removed the traditional subject divisions between humanities, social science and natural science: Students are now able to freely choose subjects based on personal interests. We have made "Basic Seminar" and " Data Processing I" required subjects because we believe the ability to express oneself in Japanese and competently use information technology is necessary for survival in the 21st century.
