Designated course for students aiming to become a social researcher "Social researcher certification course"
* Department of Sociology only
A social researcher is a qualification certified by a public organization called the Social Research Association, which was established by the Japan Society of Educational Sociology, the Japan Society of Educational Sociology, and the Japan Society of Behavioral Metrics. It is a "research expert" who has the ability to grasp public opinion, market trends, social events, etc. by using it. At our university, we set up designated courses for students who want to become social researchers, and qualifications are given by earning credits and applying for those courses.
Aiming to be a "curator" who is active in museums
At our university, we not only earn credits but also provide various support for students who want to become curators. The Department of History organizes fieldwork twice a year and visits museums. At that time, a faculty member of art history will give a gallery talk, and students can learn the actual site such as the curator's knowledge.
Aiming to be a teacher from the Faculty of Liberal Arts
