Education in this department

Notice, observe, experiment, and discover the laws.

Analyzing human behavior and thought in all situations—at home, school, and work—and solving problems is a major part of the learning in Department of Human Science. Depending on the subject matter and approach, students specialize in psychology, sociology, education, or physical education. They acquire experimental and research methods, hone their theoretical thinking and writing skills, and develop the ability to thoroughly investigate and solve a single research topic. The goal is for students to grow into individuals who can view society from multiple perspectives.
