Creating Knowledge. Examining Japan and Opening up the Future.
Today, major changes to the social structure and societal transformations are accelerating. In the face of this reality, we need to find meaning in learning for ourselves, respect others, and coexist with people from diverse backgrounds while living independently.
So, what do people need from universities in today’s world? In answer, it is our belief that universities are more than places that transmit knowledge; they are places for learning from one another, between faculty and students and among students, and for questioning existing knowledge and creating new knowledge.
To achieve this goal, we will focus on education and research on Japan and Japanese culture based on the founding spirit of Kokugakuin University, while working to develop the human resources who will create the harmonious society of the future, and will strive to be a university that will open up this future.
Reexamination Question existing knowledge and create new knowledge.
There is no absolute truth when it comes to knowledge. It continues to change and evolve as we discover new materials and new ideas. To this end, we need to analyze, examine, and contemplate existing knowledge. If we constantly question
what we know, it leads to the creation of new knowledge.
Coexisting Respect and accept diverse lifestyles, and coexist.
The development of the Internet and social media is
transforming the world into one community. In a global society like this one, we need to accept and recognize each other’s inherent differences in language, history, and culture. It is important to respect the lifestyles of diverse people, approach other people’s challenges as if they were our own, and coexist.
Learning from each other Closely observe and learn from other people with different values.
Rapid changes in our industrial and social structures demand new ways of learning in university education. It is necessary not only to change teaching styles and methods, but also to closely observe how individual students are learning. Amid these changes, we are aware that relationships among students and between faculty and students are irreplaceable, and that learning from each other leads to personal growth.
Kokugakuin University is continually evolving.

Global
Changes in social structures and remarkable advances in IT technology are causing globalization to accelerate. Being a global citizen means understanding your own culture, respecting diversity, and understanding others. This starts with recognizing differences by interacting with other cultures, and accepting and respecting others. Then we can accept changes in ourselves as well. This attitude we take is what makes Kokugakuin University a global university.
