Based on our founding principles, our university has established the following three policies (Diploma Policy, Curriculum Policy, and Admission Policy).
Purpose of the school
Recognize the order of seniority without regard for ability, look up to the light of character without doing anything, fear the way of heaven and follow the way of human ethics. Look upon mankind as one and promote its prosperity, study useful academic subjects and cultivate a simple and honest spirit, and fulfill your calling where appropriate.
Founding spirit
Today, the decline of business morality is extremely chilling. The slump in foreign trade is ultimately the result of this. Therefore, it must be said that it is of the utmost urgency to instill business morality in those who wish to become businessmen, and in particular to instill in them the warrior spirit.
Diploma Policy
Based on the spirit of our founding, our educational philosophy is to cultivate "chidoka" (people who practice the arts) as advocated by our founder Ryukichi Endo through "practical education." We will certify the graduation of students who have acquired the following abilities and earned the required credits, and award them a degree.
chidoka is a leader with a strong sense of ethics who can take a broad perspective, grasp the changes of the times, and solve various social problems.
High ethical standards
- A sense of mission and morality to identify real-world problems and proactively work to solve them
Wide-ranging education
- Universal knowledge and communication skills to develop the rich humanity necessary to quickly respond to changes in the real world and collaborate with a diverse range of people
Specialized knowledge and skills
- Useful and advanced specialized skills to identify and solve real-world problems
We will develop and implement a curriculum to help students acquire the above skills, and evaluate their learning outcomes based on the number of credits they earn. For students who have not earned enough credits, we will conduct interviews to understand their learning outcomes and help them improve.
Our university uses the diploma policy as the starting point for ensuring the quality of our education, and strives to continually reform and improve our education based on our founding principles and the needs of society.

Curriculum Policy (Policy for organizing and implementing the curriculum)
Based on the spirit of our founding, our educational philosophy is to cultivate "chidoka" (people who practice the arts) as advocated by our founder, Ryukichi Endo, through "practical education." In order to achieve our diploma policy, we have systematically organized and implemented the following curriculum.
chidoka is a leader who has a strong sense of ethics and can see things from a broad perspective, grasp the changes of the times, and solve various social problems. Our curriculum emphasizes practical learning and fosters practical skills through collaboration with the real world and active learning.
First-year education
In order to allow a diverse range of students to adapt to the independent learning environment at our university, acquire the foundations of study over the four years, and introduce them to specialized research, we will implement small-group seminars in the first year. The first year seminars will incorporate "group work" to help students acquire the communication skills, ethics, and practical skills necessary to work with a diverse range of people.
Basic Education
In order to enable all students in all faculties to acquire the broad-based education and high ethical standards set out in the diploma policy, basic education is provided from the first year on subjects such as liberal arts, foreign languages, information, bookkeeping and accounting, physical education, careers, and Japanese language-related subjects.
Specialized Education
In order to gradually acquire the specialized knowledge and skills required to identify and solve real-world problems through systematic study, basic specialized education is provided in the first year, and from the second year onwards, advanced specialized education is provided to acquire useful and advanced specialized knowledge and skills.
Seminar education
In order to acquire advanced specialized knowledge and skills, seminar education is provided from the second year onwards. Specialized learning is deepened by the accumulation of "research", "surveys", "group work", "group discussions" and "presentations", and is culminated in the fourth year.
Furthermore, at our university, the knowledge and skills to be acquired in each subject are listed in the syllabus, learning outcomes are evaluated according to the evaluation methods and standards listed in the syllabus, and the relationships between subjects are visualized, enabling students to take and study in a systematic manner.
In order to enhance students' active learning, we aim to increase the study time per subject by setting an upper limit on the number of subjects that can be registered, and for students who have not acquired a certain level of credits, we will understand and improve their learning outcomes through interviews, etc. In order to achieve our diploma policy, our university places an important position on the organization and implementation of the educational course, and strives to constantly reform and improve university education in line with the curriculum policy.
