Diploma Policy (Policy on Degree Conferral and Graduation Certification)

Educational Objectives

Based on the ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ Diploma Policy (Policy on Degree Conferral and Graduation Certification), and in accordance with the founding spirit of the Juku, the objective is to research and teach academic principles and their applications. We aim to conceptualize the state of health, medicine, 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, medicine, welfare, and sports, we aim to help students acquire management skills such as the insight to identify health issues facing individuals and society, the logical thinking skills to estimate the structures and causal relationships behind these issues and construct them as hypotheses, the analytical skills to verify hypotheses in a way that is convincing to everyone, and the communication skills to share and implement the derived conclusions. Our goal is to foster leadership that leads society based on consideration for diversity and multiculturalism and a high sense of professional ethics. Additionally, in Sport Management, which views sports in a broad sense ranging from competitive activities to exercise and physical activity, we aim to train individuals who can plan and implement a society with high health standards and contribute to the promotion of sports culture and the development of the sports industry by integrating knowledge that contributes to the maintenance and promotion of individual and group health with business management skills. In addition, the Master of Science in Sport Management degree will be awarded to students who have met the prescribed requirements set forth in the curriculum.
