Strengths of the academic group

Cultivating individuals who can solve the complex challenges facing society through dialogue and practical action.

In this era of rapid change and uncertainty, society demands the ability to formulate questions and continuously explore. College of Education and Social Transformation provides the theoretical foundation for inquiry and practical learning with a view to application in society. Through "projects" that move back and forth between campus and society, students tackle real-world challenges. Students design their own learning from a variety of units, integrating theory and practice. We cultivate "inquiry-oriented individuals" who can support the growth of others and create new value.

A four-year program with small class sizes and personalized instruction.

We consistently engage in inquiry-based learning, allowing each student to delve deeply into their chosen theme. Our small class sizes and hands-on support from teachers and senior students are key features. Through dialogue, students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for inquiry, while honing their practical abilities to translate their thoughts into tangible forms.
Students working in groups in a classroom.

The teaching style is primarily interactive.

We provide an environment that encourages proactive learning by incorporating group work and workshop formats. Through discussions with other students, students will acquire diverse perspectives and improve their communication skills.

Stepping outside the campus, into the "real" world.

Students hone their practical skills through various fieldwork and project-based courses both domestically and internationally. They develop the ability to accurately understand and analyze social and local conditions by focusing on "human relationships" that cannot be learned from textbooks alone.
