This department covers five major fields: Political Science, Economics, Law, Sociology, and Business Administration. A strong emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary studies that connect multiple fields.
Students are expected to develop the ability to address global issues related to peace as well as local issues focused on community revitalization. The department also closely integrates Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into its curriculum, ensuring that students engage with these critical topics in their studies.
This department examines the modern world from two perspectives. The first focuses on the humanities that have shaped European and American cultures. The second explores fields related to the globalized world, such as language and contemporary culture.
A minor system is also available, allowing students to expand their academic interests beyond their primary field of study.
This department seeks to explore the essence of Japanese culture through literature, language, history, philosophy, cultural theory, and comparative cultural studies. Students analyze Japanese culture not only from an internal perspective but also through external viewpoints from Asia, Europe, and the United States.

The ability to communicate effectively with children is increasingly valued by society and businesses.
This department aims to develop professionals in psychology and social welfare who possess empathy and deep insight into the relationship between the mind and society in contemporary times.
