BA/BS in Human Sciences

The Department of Human Sciences trains professionals who support people through every stage of life. Its teaching starts from a deep understanding of human beings and brings together education, childcare, psychology, development, health, medicine, welfare and the environment. Students study on the Setagaya campus throughout their four years, building broad knowledge and practical ability. Hands-on programmes form a central part of the learning. Students take part in childcare support exercises, food and farming experiences, and other activities linked to a university childcare centre. The department also encourages overseas study and internships, so students can compare approaches to welfare and community support in different countries. Graduates learn to respond to diverse social needs with both compassion and professional judgement. The curriculum asks them to see people from many angles, combining research-minded study with real support work in communities.
