Overview
Hakuho Women's College is a private junior college that combines a department of Integrated Human Studies with five one-year advanced courses.
The two-year Early Childhood Education major leads to nursery teacher and kindergarten teacher licences, with an optional primary school licence, while the three-year majors in Nursing, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy prepare students for national qualifications as nurses and therapists. Graduates of these programmes can continue into advanced courses in midwifery, community health nursing, speech-language-hearing therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy, which are accredited by the national degree-awarding body and lead to a bachelor's degree equivalent.
The college reports a 100 percent employment rate for its 2025 graduates and publishes the number of job offers per place for each programme, with several programmes receiving far more offers than their intake. It also describes transfer routes into Yamato University for students wishing to continue to a four-year degree.
The college announces that it will change its name to Yamato University Junior College from April 2027.
Tuition for each programme, including entrance fees and practicum costs, is published on the programme pages for the 2026 intake.
