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.

The regular curriculum consists of four faculties and five departments.
Compared to other universities, tuition fees are cheaper and you can aim to graduate entirely online. (*) In addition, a comprehensive learning support system allows you to continue your studies with peace of mind, even through distance learning.

Students can easily study just one subject, allowing them to learn freely and broadly. SOKA Select Packs, which are packs of three subjects for each theme, are also popular.

I'm worried about whether I can continue my studies...

Our comprehensive learning support will eliminate any concerns you may have about self-study distance learning.
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.

Q

I'm not good at writing sentences, is there any support available?

A

For every report assignment, there is a "Report Assignment Explanation" by the teacher in charge, which explains key points for writing the report, so you can use the detailed explanation as you write your report.
In addition, "report writing lectures" are held in which full-time faculty members and instructors from Distance Learning Division give lectures on how to write reports, divided into four types (levels), and students can learn everything from the basics to advanced applications of report writing.
It is also possible to attend the course via recorded video or to consult via Zoom.

Q

We have set up a "Subject Registration" course that allows you to select and study any subjects you want to study or that interest you (from one subject to a maximum of 30 credits) from over 250 subjects offered.
The "SOKA Select Pack," which packages three related subjects around 12 themes such as "Learning the Founding Spirit" and "Becoming a More Radiant Woman," is also popular.
