Undergraduate Programs

The Faculty of Letters was established in May 1949 as part of the new Faculty of Law and Letters. This faculty was then split into the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Letters in 1979. The education and research framework of the Faculty of Letters includes four educational departments, which are the Department of Integrated Human Studies, the Department of History, the Department of Literature, and the Department of Communications and Information Studies. The Faculty welcomes 170 new students each year. There are approximately 70 faculty members who are conducting educational research in a broad number of areas, including the humanities, social and cultural studies.
　To satisfy new and contemporary needs, three

interdisciplinary courses that make use of an educational system that allows for cross-disciplinary learning were established in 1997. In 2005, those courses were disbanded and the Department of Communication and Information Studies was reestablished. The CIS Department was established to help students acquire outstanding abilities in international communication using English, as well as to teach them to excel at processing information. There are numerous international students among the Faculty, which is striving to develop people who can contribute to the international community through educational research.
