In the modern world, we have been facing a number of challenges including activated cross-border international exchanges on a global scale, declining local communities owing to a decrease in population, measures for living a long life with health in a longevity society, and others. These phenomena are true for other countries around the world as well as Japan.

The Faculty of Human and Social Studies consists of the two academic fields of tourism and social work for studying such phenomena in modern society. The Department of International Tourism aims to cultivate human resources who acquired specialized knowledge and skills on tourism and related areas and can act in a practical manner in the fields of local tourism industries, international exchanges, and community development. The Department of Social Work is making efforts to develop human resources who play active roles in local communities with a national license such as certified social worker, psychiatric social worker, certified care worker, or others. The key word is "local community" for both departments.

In recent years, the demand for managerial dieticians has increased. A managerial dietician, a profession requiring national certification, has expertise and techniques in food and nutrition to solve and handle various complex problems regarding food and nutrition and nutrition and health in modern society.

In the Faculty of Health Management, we provide great educational programs based on our basic philosophy, Respect for Human Beings, which has been nurtured at our university. The students will acquire a wide and deep expertise and advanced techniques in terms of a spirit of hospitality, ethics view, a sense of mission, and food and nutrition, which are required as managerial dieticians, one of the healthcare professions, through our educational programs.

Our aim is to produce managerial dieticians with a spirit of hospitality, ethics view, and a sense of mission.

In recent years, amid the sophistication and complications of medical treatment, the advent of a super-aging society, and the separation of dispensing from medical practice, pharmacists are required to have a broad range of skills, as well as the proper use of pharmaceutical products.

Thus, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences aims to produce high quality graduates capable of working in the medical and health insurance business. In addition to basic and clinical pharmacy, we provide a broad range of academic programs in nursing, welfare services, and nursing care in terms of medical services for the elderly.

Furthermore, we aim to cultivate rich humanity in our students with medical ethics and great communication skills to work as members of a medical team, and produce high quality pharmacists who can respond effectively to social demands.
