Learn beyond your department
Exposure to diverse knowledge

Starting with the issue,
I don't know yet
“Your strengths”
Learning that you can discover and put into practice.
An "issue" refers to each student's interests and concerns, and the awareness and challenges that arise as those interests deepen. Crossover learning begins with "having an issue" and "nurturing an issue." By developing an issue based on one's own interests, it becomes clear what one should be learning now, transcending the boundaries of one's faculty. It is a learning style that broadens and deepens learning, starting from interests and challenges.
At the Nishinomiya Shukugawa Campus, students in all four faculties can freely take classes from any major, regardless of their affiliated faculty or course.

Learning Model
Study one field in depth.
Image 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.
I specialize in two fields.
Image 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.
While focusing on your specialty, you will also learn more about other fields.
Image 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.
Learn a wide range of subjects outside of your specialty.
Image 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.
