At Shokei Gakuin University, we believe that most of the problems confronting society today are rooted in the human mind and spirit. By examining these worlds, we will discover clues that will lead us to a deeper understanding of our "problem society". We investigate the human mind /spirit and the human body to bring back vital humanity. Our Faculty of Comprehensive Human Sciences is a place to study how to develop new possibilities for humankind and live life to its fullest. In the Faculty of Comprehensive Human Sciences, the human being is seen as an integration of mind and body. To bring back the humanity the present-day society seems to be slowly taking away from us, we must have healthy minds and bodies. With this in mind, the Faculty of Comprehensive Human Sciences applies scientific methods to uncover how human beings might live in our world.
