Expansive changes in the society have led to the appearance of various new, modern-day problems in the framework of the understanding of humanity and society, ethical norms, adjustments to social relationships, and the nature or its administration. Therefore, we have reorganized our pre-existing Faculty of Letters and Faculty of Law fields with outside cooperation and inputs to develop a new major ―Modern Social Human Studies. It comprises five courses: Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, & Administration Specialist Course and East Asian Business Communication Specialist Course, which respond to arising human resources needs; Advanced Ethics Research Course; Field Research Course; and Psychology / Cognitive Philosophy Research Course, all of which are designed to tackle new issues.
