The university curriculum is made up of "specialized subjects" in which students learn specialized knowledge and skills in areas aligned with their interests and future goals, and "General Education" to help students acquire a broad range of knowledge, comprehensive judgment, and a rich humanity. Students begin by studying a wide range of "General Education," and as they progress through the grades, they delve deeper into the "specialized subjects" that are their area of expertise.
Teikyo University's General Education, which are studied in conjunction with specialized subjects from each faculty and department, aim to develop the ability to continue learning throughout one's life, as well as a wide range of knowledge that goes beyond the boundaries of humanities and science, the ability to communicate and collaborate with others using rich expressiveness, and the ability to identify problems, in order to cultivate individuals who have acquired a way of life that is "in “One’s way”," which is the university's Educational Philosophy.
Abilities that can be acquired through General Education
General Education are composed of five subject categories, and by systematically studying the subjects placed in each subject category and the specialized subjects of the faculty and department, you can acquire the abilities set out in Teikyo University's Diploma Policy (DP).
Acquire a wide range of knowledge and culture beyond the boundaries of specialized fields
In today's rapidly changing society, social issues tend to become more diverse and complex. It is difficult to respond to these issues with knowledge in a single or limited field of expertise alone, and a multifaceted approach to thinking that encompasses both the humanities and sciences is required. Liberal arts education courses are divided into four fields: humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and a combination of the humanities and sciences. Students are expected to study in accordance with the graduation requirements and acquire a multifaceted perspective that encompasses both the humanities and sciences.
