The College of Asia Pacific Studies will aim for a new goal in 2023. We will retain our original academic goals that were set upon the opening of this university, including internationalization nurtured on campus as well as the capacity to empathize and the appreciation of diversity, which can be achieved through a wide array of studies. In addition, we will launch a new curriculum as well as off-campus learning opportunities with which students can systematically learn the three central academic areas of social sciences, to cultivate highly professional individuals who will flourish globally.
