Sophia University provides extension programs for working adults at “Sophia Community College”. In the past ten years, the annual total number of students shifted around 4000 to 5000 and during these years the courses were reorganized, publicity activities reviewed, and new courses offered at Osaka Satellite Campus, providing a new platform for learning. Although the number of students is affected by factors such as earthquakes and economy, Sophia intends to create extension courses that only Sophia can offer to meet the diverse needs for learning by carrying out action plans of Grand Layout 2.0. Sophia also offers courses in Theology for Catholics, clergy and students aiming to obtain license for religion teacher. The number of students decreased since Academic Year 2009, but gradually recovered by limiting courses to summer sessions and intensive courses. Since Academic Year 2012 intensive courses are also held at Osaka, committing to training of religion teachers in the Kansai region.
