Providing the opportunity to reach deeper levels of knowledge. Four major courses are offered to satisfy the desire to know more about ourselves, our languages and our culture. The program is devoted to research on the Japanese language and Japanese literature. Possible research themes related to the Japanese language include its history, grammar, and expressive system. Themes related to Japanese literature that are currently under study include the literature of ancient and medieval periods, bibliographical and annotated analysis of modern literature, and research on modern and contemporary authors and works. Our program also accepts adult auditors who want to pursue in-depth research on the Japanese language and literature. This program involves in-depth study of the literature, language and culture in the English-speaking world. Through preparing papers for presentation in the Konan English Literature Society and working towards their graduation theses, students aim to deepen and enrich their knowledge in their chosen field. Classes are kept small to ensure maximum participation in discussion and provide a high level of personal guidance from faculty members. This program offers fundamental studies in sociological areas such as family, information, regions, and networks. It also reaches out to provide a broader range of subjects such as cultural anthropology, history, social thought, cultural geography, and folklore taught by a staff that willingly shares advice and expertise. Research can be conducted with a wide perspective to adequately address the diversity of issues in our contemporary world. The program is devoted to the fields of contemporary thought and clinical psychology. Based on the various ways of understanding and doing research on the crisis of the mind of contemporary human beings, the program aims to train and cultivate clinical psychologists whose mission is to professionally help and support people. In the doctoral degree program, emphasis is placed on the study and research of both fields.
