The Education program is for those students who intend to do professional work related to education in government offices, companies, schools, communities, etc., or for those who would like to approach education with knowledge and vision for the future as citizens and prospective parents. The object of educational studies is the education of the whole person, which is what human society essentially strives to achieve. The major has three courses: 1) Child and Learning Studies Course to study education and personal development; 2) Communication and Teaching Materials Development Course to study the use of information and expression through multi-media; 3) Lifelong Learning and Community Design Course to create fields for learning based on daily life and community.
CURRICULUM
Students specializing in Education programme study the fundamental areas of education, that is, philosophy of education, history of education, educational sociology, and educational administration. Other courses include, for example, international comparative education, methods of education, lifelong learning, and health education. There are not many required courses so students can choose classes freely according to their interests. Classes are small and, especially in seminars (with about 10 students) under the guidance of professors, lively discussions often take place. Based on their individual studies in seminars, students write their graduation theses. Theses topics are varied and range from orthodox areas to modern educational problems.
In the "Center for Study Support," students have access to various multi-media computer software which can be used for classes, study, or research related to graduation theses.
