Today, what is most needed in society is "heart". Our school ethos is "education based on the spirit of Buddhism." We foster the development of a sincere heart with which students can support people who are in sorrow, suffering, or trouble. We also educate students to step forward proactively so that they can take the initiative in society. To achieve these goals, we Founded in 2015 the "Yawaragi Basis," a standard liberal arts curriculum with no boundaries between the faculties. This standard curriculum aims to train students to have the necessary foundation skills for study in any area of expertise, deepen the bonds students have with each other through a wide range of exchanges and foster the communication skills needed for an inclusive society. Also, our empathetic teachers and staff support students' learning and college life. We have created an environment where, under thorough guidance, in-depth and wide-ranging learning happens. Deep subject learning and experiential learning, and volunteer activities (such as internships) in local elementary and junior high schools cultivate the practical skills needed in the field of education. Deep learning through hands-on experience leads to self-development, along with the development of the children. 79.5% of 2015 March graduates became teaching professionals. This compares favorably with the education faculties of public universities. Besides, in April 2015, we established a unique education course and school psychology course. The International Career Course fosters students who will lead the world in English and be active in many fields. The Secondary School Teacher-Training Course course combines English proficiency with English teaching skills. To further expand the range of career choices open to our students, we have created a new career seminar (airline course). Also, students have the opportunity to experience an international internship. Lectures by local business owners and classroom learning about the local economy's latest economic trends promote collaboration between industry and academia. By cooperating with companies, we develop students with practical knowledge and a broad vision. Through industry-university cooperation agreements with leading local companies, we foster work-ready students. Students can develop on-site practical business knowledge. Through our unique curriculum, with SPP technology exercises throughout the school year and interfaculty courses, we foster nurses who support their patients mindfully. Students undertake training in a variety of facilities. Our faculty was established in April 2015. We aim to foster nurses with excellent interpersonal skills and a high level of expertise.
