The Department of Information Science Correspondence Course is in accordance with the objectives of the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Science and Engineering, and aims to provide learning opportunities that are not restricted by time or place, thereby nurturing specialized human resources who have acquired the fundamentals of liberal arts and science and engineering, as well as the knowledge and skills of information science, and who are able to adapt to an advanced information society.
Three policies of Correspondence Course, Department of Information Science, Faculty of Science and Faculty of Science and Engineering
The Department Department of Information Science Correspondence Course aims to train engineers who have a rich humanity and creativity, who can work both domestically and internationally with a sense of ethics, and who have acquired a broad and deep understanding of the theories of information science and the technologies in the fields of data science, AI, and robotics, and who have the ability to rationally and independently solve problems in the information society and the practical ability to build information systems. A degree will be awarded to those who have acquired the following abilities and completed the required number of credits.
Acquire a foreign language through independent and continuous study, and be able to make comprehensive judgments based on basic knowledge.
Understand the importance of the relationship between society and the environment, have a broad perspective, and be able to make decisions based on the ethics of an engineer.
You will be able to understand the basic theories of information science, data science, and robotics, as well as the fundamentals of AI, and use them to solve real-world problems.
Understand applied information science technologies and be able to use them in the development of real-world information systems.
It is possible to analyze and integrate various problems in the highly information-oriented society from various aspects, set issues, and solve them through continuous efforts.
In order to allow students to acquire the skills set forth in the degree awarding policy, the Department of Department of Information Science Correspondence Course has organized its curriculum according to the following policy: Each subject will be offered as a textbook class, a classroom class, or a media class via the Internet so that students can study without being restricted by time or place.
We offer general education courses in liberal arts and foreign languages so that students can understand the importance of the relationships between humans, society, and the environment, have a broad perspective, and acquire a wide range of culture.
We offer specialized foundational subjects to develop the knowledge and ability to utilize mathematics, physics, chemistry, and information, which are the foundations of science and engineering.
We offer specialized foundational subjects to equip students with everything from basic knowledge to applied technology, and to develop the ability to make ethical judgments as engineers.
Specialized courses are offered in order to develop high technical skills, rich creativity, excellent problem-solving skills, and comprehensive judgment.
Department of Information Science aims to cultivate talented people who can contribute to the development of society in this highly information-driven society where vast amounts of information are available and new technologies such as artificial intelligence are constantly emerging. In order to achieve this educational goal, we seek students who have the following abilities, qualifications, and motivation through work experience or study at other universities, high schools, etc.
