Sugiyama Jogakuen University(SJU) belongs to a comprehensive educational institution. In fact, we are the only private girls' institution in Aichi Prefecture offering continuous schooling from kindergarten through to university.
At the university we focus on providing a high quality education. Since our inception, we have continued to use the motto "Nurturing humanity" as our educational philosophy. Students can study a wide range of courses including nutrition, environment, languages, communication, information technology, etc. in order to benefit themselves and the global community.
A university must continuously reform its organization and curriculum along with ongoing changes in society, lifestyles and technology. At Sugiyama we aspire to provide an education that does more than just allow you to fulfill the needs of contemporary society:we want you to lead it.
The two graduate schools offer higher degrees for those who wish to enhance and specialize in their studies and/or develop specific knowledge and research skills.
This course allows candidates to examine the relationship between food, nutrition, and human environment from a number of different angles with the ultimate aim of improving overall quality of life.
We were the first graduate school in Japan to focus on studying human relations. We offer an in-depth program focusing on clinical psychology, sociology, and education.
In this School we analyze aspects of life to determine the healthiest, most comfortable and rewarding way to live. We endeavor to achieve this by studying the fundamentals of food, clothing and environment.
In this Department, students scientifically investigate nutrition to appreciate how food affects our bodies and our health.
Our Department contains three majors: Apparel Media, Architecture/Building, Interior Design and Product Design. Students receive practical training in areas relating to the human environment.
Since intercultural communication requires more than just language ability, our curriculum also includes study of the culture, history and society in Japan, English-speaking as well as other European countries. We strive to develop graduates who are capable of proficiently communicating about Japanese culture to people in other countries.
We aim to improve students’ self-expression and cross-cultural awareness with training in foreign language communicative ability, primarily via practical, discussion-based courses.
By developing a profound understanding of the place of Japan in the world, including its language, culture, literature and thought, our students can competently communicate their knowledge of Japan to the world.
The School takes a multidisciplinary approach to the study of people and associated relationship problems. We also feature a special program to encourage and support non-Japanese students.
Our objective is to foster an understanding of the diversity and complexity of humans and their relationships with others. The four main study fields are Lifestyles (particularly women’s), Human Development, Contemporary Society and Human Environment.
The program imparts professional insight into the complications of human relationships and develops the ability to provide much-needed counseling for psychological problems.
The goal of this School is two-fold: ① to foster an awareness of and appreciation for the structure of society, the nature of culture, and human activity; ② to provide students with the practical skills necessary for functioning smoothly and successfully in an increasingly internationalized and information/media-centered world.
While receiving practical training in such areas as information technology and foreign languages, students examine the new, astonishingly productive forms of interaction among culture, information, and society in a wide range of fields—from Asian Area Studies, computing, and the teaching of languages to tourism and archive management—and learn how to be effective participants in this interaction.
Students are thoroughly familiarized with the nature of media and how its development has impacted on the individual and society, and are taught the practical skills necessary for ①creating and disseminating information (such as by producing videos or HPs), and ② efficiently selecting, analyzing, evaluating, and utilizing information (by applying data-analysis techniques, among others) .
Our purpose is to nurture management specialists by providing the know-how and skills needed by those planning to take leadership roles in society, corporations or organizations, both local and international.
The three majors of International, District/Community, and Business are studied progressively from discipline-specific introductory classes on management through to increasingly more specialized courses involving decision-making and problem-solving skills.
Our program prepares students to be thoughtful, purposeful and creative in the classroom and in the community.
We offer students a highly functional and diverse curriculum with an emphasis on hands-on learning activities.
Sugiyama Jogakuen University School of Nursing (SJUSN) was established as the 7th school of SJU in 2010.
SJUSN offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and eligibility for admission to the national licensing exam for nurses and for public health nurses. SJUSN aims to foster highly skilled advanced nurses, nursing faculty and health administration leaders who have comprehensive knowledge of humans, respect the dignity of life, and dedicate themselves to healthcare for local and global communities with humanity and high morality.
