Diploma Policy (Policy on Degree Conferral and Graduation Certification)
Educational Goals
Based on the ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ policy on degree conferral and graduation certification, and in accordance with the spirit of the founding of the Juku, the objective is to research and teach academic principles and their applications. We aim to conceptualize the state of health, medical care, and welfare that contributes to people's health, and to cultivate the deep scholarship and outstanding abilities required for advanced practice and management based on scientific methods. Furthermore, beyond the acquisition of specialized knowledge related to health, medical care, welfare, and sports, we aim to foster management skills such as insight to identify health issues facing individuals and society, logical thinking to estimate the structures and causal relationships behind issues and construct them as hypotheses, analytical skills to verify hypotheses in a way that is convincing to everyone, and communication skills to share and implement derived conclusions. We also aim to cultivate leadership to lead society based on consideration for diversity and multiculturalism and a high sense of professional ethics. Additionally, recognizing that health, medical, and welfare institutions and related businesses are required to provide higher quality services efficiently and to respond meticulously based on the individual needs of service recipients, the goal of Health Management is to train individuals who can research, plan, and practice management to achieve these goals, and who can make new discoveries and original academic contributions that go beyond existing knowledge. In addition, the degree of Ph.D. in Health Management will be conferred upon students who satisfy the prescribed requirements set forth in the curriculum.
