Acquiring high-level English skills through proficiency-based classes

In small, proficiency-based classes, students refine their four core English skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—while developing the critical thinking, expression, and research skills needed to learn specialized knowledge in English, ultimately acquiring practical English ability.

Independent study via e-learning

To improve English proficiency, including preparation for TOEIC, independent study via e-learning is also available. Students can access the materials anytime and work on practice tests and homework in line with their individual skill levels to enhance their English ability.

Deepening your expertise in the capstone course “Specialized Seminar.”

In their first year, students take basic courses. In their second year, they move on to intermediate-level courses. In their third and fourth years, they take advanced courses to deepen their expertise across four specialized fields—Language and Literature; Area, Culture, and Society; International Relations; and Economics and Business Administration. Students are free to choose their area of focus based on their interests and goals. These studies help build expertise relevant to their career paths and prepare them for more intensive learning during study abroad.

In their third and fourth years, students not only delve further into their chosen field via specialized seminars, but also enhance their research and practical skills through graduation projects and project-based seminars.

Broadening your cultural understanding via an exchange program

Students participate in study abroad after acquiring high-level English proficiency and sufficient academic skills to study in a bachelor’s program at their host university during their first and second years.

We offer a variety of study abroad programs such as a degree-seeking program, a two-country study abroad program, and an intensive language study program. The exchange program is central to the School of English Language and Communication, allowing students to take academic and liberal arts classes in English alongside local students at partner universities. They can choose courses related to their major or based on their own personal interests.

Hospitality Management Program

Over the course of one year, students complete business-related courses essential for hospitality industry management, held primarily in English. They also gain hands-on experience through internships of approximately one month at hotels in Japan. Following this, they may continue studying related subjects at their host university and take on internships at local hotels or similar establishments.
