A “world citizen” is someone who possesses the skills to communicate and empathize with others, then take responsibility for creating a better a better world. Sending out into the world many graduates who will play an active role in both the public sector, including international contributions, and the business sector, and creating true global leaders who possess “strength and dignity” and who will tackle global issues and lead the world to solutions – this is the Kwansei Gakuin ideal.

In addition, we are set “acquisition of learning outcomes”, “guarantee of student quality”, ”high-quality employment”, as the achievement of outcomes from learning during enrollment / the stage of graduation. Our long-term strategies converge towards these goals.
