イシューの
重要性

大手前大学のクロスオーバーは“イシューを持つ”・“イシューを育む”という学びです。イシューとは学生の皆さんが持つ興味や関心、そして興味や関心が成熟することで生まれる問題意識や認識課題のこと。これらのイシューを持つ・育むことで、学部の垣根を超えて何を学べばよいのかが見えてきます。

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/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.
