In order for you to live your life proactively and richly in the future, it will become increasingly important to acquire the ability to understand people and their activities from multiple perspectives, not one-sidedly, and empirically based on objective data, not on self-serving assumptions.

Therefore, Department of Human Science aims to cultivate individuals who possess deep insights into human nature, broad general knowledge, and the practical skills to tackle real-world problems on their own.
