Faculties

Currently, Musashi does not confer undergraduate degrees or graduate degrees in English.  Courses in the three faculties and two graduate schools are predominately offered in Japanese.   International students with a high level of Japanese proficiency may be eligible to take courses.

Faculty of Economics

Faculty of Economics
As the oldest faculty in Musashi University, the Faculty of Economics is proud of the number of its graduates who play a leading role in society. Not content with its traditions and past achievements, however, the faculty is determined to continue to grow and develop. In 1992, it established the first “Department of Finance” in Japan, pioneering the introduction of specialist training in finance and securities. Since 2011, students are free to choose from a variety of courses and seminars that extend beyond the Faculty, allowing them to pursue studies
in curriculums that incorporate other academic disciplines. Through this interdisciplinary approach, students are able to study subjects that meet their burgeoning interests after enrolment.

Faculty of Humanities

Faculty of Humanities
The goal of the Faculty of Humanities is to cultivate individuals who have a broad understanding of a diverse array of cultures and values; are able to articulate their ideas and explain their own culture in a foreign language; and can interact effectively with people from different cultures. To achieve this goal, we have developed a systematic study program for a variety of languages as well as enhanced Musashi University’s Overseas Study Program.

Faculty of Sociology

Faculty of Sociology
The question we are most frequently asked is, “What do sociology students study?” To which we always ask the question, “What do you want to study at university?” Replies increasingly focus on issues such as environmental problems, juvenile crime, parent-child problems, war and peace,and the mass media. Potential students often seem to be under the impression that the objects they can study at university are far removed from what they actually want to study or are interested in. “The Faculty of Sociology is where you can specialize in all kinds of social problems, including these kinds of familiar issues.” It is where students study the current state of society, explore the background to problems and learn how to analyze the intertwining causes. Our object of study is today’s society. The Faculty of Sociology deals with all kinds of social phenomena ranging from personal friendships to fashion, games and global issues. Amid the dramatically changing social conditions of the 21st century, it is impossible to predict what will happen either in the world at large or close to home. To survive such times, the Faculty of Sociology aims to use sociology’s theoretical and empirical methods to train people to tackle the problems of modern society head-on and create a new era.

School of Liberal Arts and Sciences

School of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Team of Experienced Faculty Familiar with Systems outside Japan
In order to provide a world-class education in Japan, faculty members with various fields of expertise, many of whom earned their degrees overseas, are recruited both locally and from abroad and commit themselves wholeheartedly to teaching students in small classes. As in universities outside Japan, our faculty ensures that classes are interactive and stimulate independent learning through, for example, regular opportunities for discussion and field work.

Developing English Language Skills
The school’s curriculum is designed around English-medium instruction for all subjects, allowing students to develop practical and high-level English language skills. To help students adjust to an all-English class environment, each program offers intensive language courses to improve English proficiency. Opportunities for self-development are not limited to language skills, and students are encouraged to broaden their horizons and gain first-hand experience of different cultures through training, studying, or interning overseas.

Broadening Horizons through Liberal Arts and Sciences
The school offers “intra-school” courses outside the two major programs that expand the options available to all its students. Such courses help equip students with basic competencies and practical skills needed in today’s society and cover areas relevant to both programs, extending knowledge of world civilizations and societies, deepening reasoning ability and judgment, stimulating intellectual curiosity, and developing skills in identifying and solving problems.
