Educational content and methods
Integration of intelligence and sensitivity
The School of Arts has 14 areas.The common educational features of each university are a wide range of knowledge that takes advantage of being a comprehensive university, and the development of deep specialized abilities as a specialized academic group.To this end, we first dispel superficial preconceptions and aim to integrate intelligence and sensibility.
Curriculum that integrates basics and specialization

Education that respects student individuality
In art education, students' individuality is the most important thing to respect.Therefore,3-4Specialized education in this year's classes is kept as small as possible, and instruction is provided to develop individuality through dialogue.
Classes connected to the “field”
We provide university education that is in touch with society by sending students to companies, government offices, museums, etc., and inviting instructors from outside the university to work in the field.In addition, we develop educational programs that collaborate with students, faculty, and citizens outside of the arts, and develop students with strong collaboration skills, broad perspectives, and the ability to read the times.
Balancing creative expression and logical thinking skills
