Department of Human Welfare

In response to recent trends in informatization and internationalization, we aim to cultivate the communication skills, proactive problem-solving ability, and practical skills needed to coexist and collaborate with a diverse range of people, training graduates who can think through and act on the various challenges that arise in daily life on their own.

The Department of Human Welfare aims to train graduates who can go on to work not only in welfare facilities, medical institutions, social welfare councils, welfare-related companies, and the civil service, but also in general companies across a wide range of fields. Students gain specialized knowledge of welfare that reaches from children to the elderly, opening the door to a broad range of career paths where that knowledge can be put to use.

While training students for professional careers, the department also allows each student to envision her own future and choose a course of study suited to her. Whichever course of study she chooses, she will acquire a common foundation of welfare knowledge, and it is also possible to pursue multiple areas of study. In addition, learning alongside others with a variety of dreams and aspirations helps broaden students’ own perspectives.
