Overview
Seisa Dohto University is a private university in Kitahiroshima City, Hokkaido, run by the Hokkaido Seisa Gakuen school corporation.
It opened in 1978 as Doto University in Monbetsu City with programmes in social welfare, design and architecture, and took its present name in 2017. The Faculty of Fine Arts, with departments of design and architecture, moved to the Sapporo Campus in Kitahiroshima in 1996.
The Faculty of Business Administration was added in 2001, and the Faculty of Social Welfare joined the Kitahiroshima campus in 2005. A correspondence education course was established in 2014 and 2015, and the university also runs a Japanese-language special course for international students.
The university's founding spirit is to create what society needs and keep opening new paths.
Its educational philosophy rests on Seisa's three promises of recognising people, not excluding people and building companionship, and it emphasises learning from local and community issues together with others. Entrants to the four undergraduate departments can apply for the university's Special Economic Support, which reduces fees by rank.
