In April 2025, we established a new " Program in Multicultural and Global Education " in the School of Education, Cluster 3 (Language and Culture Education). Students systematically study multicultural coexistence education, peace education, and international development education. Through this program, they develop the practical skills and intellectual abilities necessary to play an active role in the international community.

Through English-centered specialized subjects, study abroad programs, and practical training at international organizations, students develop the skills required in the global workplace. After graduation, they aim to work in multicultural coexistence education and international educational cooperation at educational institutions, international cooperation organizations, NGOs/NPOs, etc., both in Japan and abroad.
