14Psychology courseIt is necessary to have both the viewpoints of consideration of unique individuals and understanding the general principles of the human mind in order to understand humans. Students learn about the human mind and behavior multi-directionally by understanding the human mind and behavior scientifically through experiments and research, and by understanding the human mind practically, sympathetically and objectively. In the regional practice class, students learn empirically through involvement with local people. Through study, we build the capabilities to understand the human mind and behavior, and support people in mental aspects.Health science courseHealth has physical, mental and social aspects. In this course, students learn about physical health scientifically. Students learn under teachers in various fields such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, occupational health, environmental health and business economics related to health garments and healthcare. We develop human resources who can support people’s health and a healthy, long-lived society through various classes and practices in social health facilities.Social welfare courseWelfare services are indispensable for our lives as acts that guarantee human dignity. In this course, students consider problems that beset Japanese society in depth from a viewpoint of supporting people. Simultaneously, they can develop the basic capability for how they should think and act in order to prevent people from suffering alone from livelihood problems. The idea and practice of welfare,which supports and links people, draws out the strengths in them. The social welfare course develops human resources who create a place where the strengths of individuals are drawn out in local communities (certified social workers and psychiatric social workers).
