Art Environment Support

Art Environment Support

Aiming for the restoration of humanity through art and the exploration of the social roles of art, we cultivate talented individuals who can play leading roles in the planning, managing, and educational dissemination of art support activities in society. Along with acquiring theories related to art education, students can take classes that involve practical activities using the University of Tsukuba's art collection. Through the completion of these unique curriculums, students are encouraged to think about the relationship between art and human happiness and growth, tackling issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. On this foundation, through their individual research projects, students aim to explore new ways of art environment support.
