Providing solutions to global issues with education and practical skills in the social sciences

This program is designed for students to learn about problems in the world with a global perspective that sees the Earth as a single system. Students will acquire some basic knowledge of economics, business administration, law, political science, and sociology through courses on international relations theory, foreign aid, environmental issues, international economy, and marketing. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by taking classes such as "Model United Nations" and "Community Engagement Workshop". These programs aim to foster individuals who can potentially contribute to solving various global issues by equipping them with education and practical skills in the social sciences.

Acquiring specialized knowledge in English to compete in the real world

Students will obtain specialized knowledge that they can utilize across the globe by taking courses such as international relations, economics, and accounting that are taught in English, and doing groupwork and holding discussions in English with students from all over the world. All the specialized department subjects are taught in English, while students have a choice to take Liberal Arts subjects in Japanese. Through the integration of the humanities (such as cross-cultural understanding) and the social sciences (international relations theory and business administration), this curriculum builds a solid background for those aspiring to compete on the global scene.
