Department of International Communication
Our university will develop truly international people through foreign language as a tool and implementation of a liberal arts education.
In today's world, social, cultural and economic activities surrounding human beings are diversified, and there are so many complex issues, such as environmental issues and political issues. In order for us to "stand on our own feet" in this society, we must have the ability to pluralistically grasp the modern society and communicate with people having different values. It can be said that this is a basic ability as a social person or, in other words, a communication ability, which enables us to identify these issues from various viewpoints, to have rich knowledge and cultural learning and flexible judgment for responding to such issues, and to proactively participate in society. It therefore becomes necessary for us to accurately grasp events and issues from different perspectives and respond to them in a flexible manner, without being caught by one theme or area only. We aim at developing a truly international person with an ability to smoothly promote business by respecting another person's position and with a capability of finding and solving issues by sharply grasping the rapidly changing states of the world.

Since this department aims at giving students a basic ability as a social person that is required by society, with its focus on communication ability, it provides a liberal arts education beyond the areas of natural science, social science and human science. We also challenge to develop human resources capable of contributing to the establishment of a better society by seeking harmony with different values. We aim at developing human resources who know society, have rich knowledge and a flexible sense of judgment required by society, and capable of proactively participating in and moving around society.

Just as the title indicates, this department is a department to learn English as a communication tool. Its goal is to develop a high ability of English that can be used for international businesses, in addition to general English conversation ability. For this purpose, a small class headed by a native-speaker teacher is organized, where lectures are given without using Japanese at all. Ability of using practical English will be acquired through expressing one's opinions in English, having discussions in English, organizing one's thoughts in an essay, acquiring business manners of world standards, and preparing business documents in English. You may also learn a second foreign language such as French or Asian languages like Chinese and Korean.
