授業の概要Course Overview

1. Global Liberal Arts (GLA) courses are designed as "Joint Study Course" where Japanese students and
international students learn together. Students will explore the "unique characteristics of Japan – including
distinctive features, strengths, weaknesses" as well as "global contexts and trends" across various fields.
Through the perspective of "Japan in the global context," students will recognize the differences between
Japan and the world and collaboratively envision a better future for the world.

2. In addition to theoretical instruction through lectures, GLA courses emphasize collaboration between
Japanese and international students through activities such as group work and discussions. The primary
language of instruction will be English.

3. Through the reading of IHARA's "Introduction to Japanese Religious History - Was the seed of Christ sown in a 'good field'? -", students who take this course will understand the uniqueness of Japanese religions, such as Buddhism, Shintoism, and Christianity, through historical perspectives.
