Department of Comprehensive Welfare

The educational objective of the Department of Comprehensive Welfare is to develop professionals who are able to provide comprehensive support to those in need. The department grants a degree (in social welfare) to students who have acquired the ability to provide support in a variety of different ways. Additionally, the department has established a group of liberal arts subjects that are needed in fostering a deep sense of humanity and human understanding, a group of subjects that enhance general abilities such as linguistic expression and information processing, and a group of subjects that allow students to acquire knowledge and skills related to welfare and its associated fields.

The department accepts people who are interested in learning about welfare from a comprehensive standpoint and wish to contribute toward creating a welfare society where everyone is happy.
