Starting from an issue,
Going beyond the boundaries of faculties and majors
A new door to knowledgeOpen up.

Because you have a strong sense of curiosity, there are many things you want to learn beyond your field, Otemae University 's Crossover program will help you expand your learning from your own "interests" and "problem awareness" and develop the skills you need to put to use in society. Here, you can acquire the "power to think" and "power to derive new answers" that are necessary in today's world.

Learn beyond your department
Exposure to diverse knowledge

Issue
Importance

Otemae University 's crossover is about learning to "have issues" and "nurture issues." Issues are the interests and concerns that students have, and the awareness and awareness of problems that arise as those interests and concerns mature. By having and nurturing these issues, you can see what you should learn across the boundaries of your faculties.

At the Sakura Shukugawa Campus, students can freely take classes in all majors, regardless of their faculty or course.

Concentrate on the academic field within your faculty that you are most interested in. If you are aiming for a difficult qualification, it is more efficient to specialize in one field.

For example, this is a model for those who wish to study in depth highly correlated fields, such as Business Administration and Tourism and Regional Management, or International Relations and English communication.

This is a model where you study areas of interest other than your major. You can choose things that will supplement your knowledge and skills that you want to acquire as your individuality in the future.

This is a model for those who want to study as many different fields as possible in addition to their major and discover their potential in even broader fields. You may discover unexpected individual traits and strengths.

Slowly for a year,
Identify and develop your aptitudes

It is not uncommon for students to have multiple fields they want to study. Otemae University has introduced a "late specialization" system where students study basic subjects from various majors for one year after enrollment, determine the main major they want to deepen their knowledge in, and decide on their major one year later. Since you can choose while actually studying, you are more likely to find a course that suits you.
