Interdisciplinary education and research based on human dignity
The Graduate School of Human Sciences offers five majors: Education, Psychology, Sociology, Social Services, and Nursing.

In the first semester, the program focuses on building a foundation for entering highly specialized careers in practical settings including practical research. In the second semester, the focus is on developing career paths for academic researchers looking to contribute to this academic field through knowledge from practical/clinical research.
