Overview
Higashi Chikushi Junior College is a private two-year college in the Kokura area of Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture.
It describes itself as a typical city-centre campus: close to libraries, a museum and shopping and business districts, yet with a quiet, green campus inside the gates. The college teaches two departments.
The Childcare Studies department prepares students to hold both a nursery teacher (hoikushi) qualification and a kindergarten teacher licence, and the campus has an attached kindergarten for practical placements. The Food and Nutrition Studies department trains dietitians (eiyoshi) and offers optional courses such as the nutrition-teacher licence and the medical secretary qualification.
A one-year Advanced Program in Care Welfare is open to people who hold or expect to hold a nursery teacher qualification, leading to the national care worker qualification as a third credential.
Tuition is charged in two instalments per year, with a first-half and a second-half payment, and the college is certified for the national Support System for Higher Education, which combines tuition reductions with grant scholarships for eligible students.
