Faculty of Global Culture and
Communication

Treasuring diverse values that span nationality and culture to create a world where the world’s people can live in harmony

The Faculty of Global Culture and Communication offers a language track as well as a major in multicultural and tourism studies. Second-year students select their own seminars and specialty programs in their respective majors in order to pursue their own expert lines of study. They are also able to choose from a diverse selection of language, international exchange, and tourism-related courses that cut across both majors and appeal to their personal interests.

Department of Global Culture and Communication,
Major of Multicultural and Tourism Studies

Students in this major learn to consider domestic and international events from a variety of perspectives while developing the practical, actionable skills they need to help create a better world. They can specialize in one of two tracks that teach them about local communities and international society, both rooted in the concept of bridging cultures—or one of two tracks that focus on tourism and the hospitality mindset along with urban development and related fields. Their expert knowledge in global culture and tourism will allow them to succeed in hospitality, planning, or policymaking in the context of both multiculturalism and tourism.
