What is an English minor?
Starting with students entering in the 2026 academic year, a new minor program will be launched that will help students hone their practical English skills, which are essential for success in a global society.
The biggest attraction is the World Seminar, which is only open to students taking the minor. Through online collaboration with overseas universities, students hone their English skills by engaging in discussions, research, and presentations in English.
We will tackle global challenges by addressing themes such as the impacts of climate change, aging populations, and the relationship between humans and AI.
If you earn 18 or more Credit from specific English subjects, you will be awarded a "Certificate of Completion" upon graduation.
