Distance Learning Division
I want to achieve my "more." ~Learn in my own way~
Based on Founding Spirit of our founder, Distance Learning Division aims to open university education to all people in society.
The regular curriculum consists of four faculties and five departments: Economics, Law, Education, and Letters. The greatest feature of distance learning is that students can study independently "anytime, anywhere," regardless of their age, occupation, or place of residence.
With online learning, you can attend classes and take subject exams from the comfort of your own home, allowing you to choose a learning style that suits your lifestyle.

We are holding individual study plan consultations and individual course consultations using Zoom, and if you have any questions about your studies, you can chat with faculty members on a dedicated portal site.
There are also opportunities for students to interact directly with each other, such as face-to-face classes and student organizations (Koyukai) established in each prefecture, allowing students to learn while encouraging each other.
