  • Are you ready for a world-class education?

    Many Japanese students who study abroad realize how much time students in other countries spend studying. In today's increasingly globalized world, students in Japan also need to be prepared to study in the same way as these students overseas, in order to gain an understanding of other cultures and to obtain a high degree of expertise and interdisciplinary knowledge. The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences at our university is committed to providing a world-class education. In order to ensure this, I will run the new school based on the following three principles:
    1. Student orientation (the school exists for the sake of students)
    2. Student engagement (we encourage students to give feedback to continually enhance our programs)
    3. Achievement focus (we focus on helping students achieve real results inside and outside the classroom)

    The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers two programs: the Economics and Management Program, and the Global Studies Program. In addition to benefiting from our traditional seminar-based education, students have the opportunity to study with faculty members from a diverse range of backgrounds. We welcome students who are eager to learn and who wish to play an active role on a global stage in the future. We look forward to welcoming you to the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences — your gateway to the world.

Programming is also a part of education

Recognizing that programming is also a part of "liberal arts," School of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers extracurricular programming courses every year.
From June to August in 2022, we provided all students majoring in Global Studies (GS) in the Faculty of School of Liberal Arts and Sciences with accounts (paid version) for Progate's online programming learning service as an extracurricular course.
In 2023, we will provide Progate accounts (paid version) to all students in School of Liberal Arts and Sciences who request them, and Coursera accounts to all current students who request them.
*The university will cover the fees for each account and course.
