- Outstanding Faculty Members
ONE’S UNIVERSITY DAYS can be an exciting time, all the more so for the first real taste of freedom and independence that many young people experience in their first days away from home. At a medium-sized university such as Nanzan, a kind of community feeling prevails, with many staff and students interacting on a first-name basis. The Nanzan faculty is a group of highly diverse people from a variety of backgrounds. Each is interested in the well-being of the students, and many provide role models for more students than they would ever guess. Top professors treat their students as equals and welcome them to their offices to talk to them. Perhaps one of the great advantages of Nanzan for any student is the opportunity to meet teachers on a personal basis, to experience
the same drive and intellectual curiosity, and to share the same awe and wonder in the supportive environment of a close personal relationship. Everyone can look back at his or her days in school and remember at least one person, one teacher, who made a difference. This person touched us somehow, helping us become more truly human—and in so doing helped us find ourselves. This is the challenge and the vocation of the Nanzan teacher today. And we are proud to have so many faculty members committed to their field, their research, and, so deeply, to their “fellow students.”
Opportunities for Graduate Studies
The Graduate School of Nanzan University
The Graduate School of Nanzan University carries out research in specialized academic theory and applications at an advanced level based upon the foundation of education carried out in the faculties. In addition to further refining students’ academic skills, we aim to foster people who, assuming a Christian view of the world and being conscious of matters of human dignity as a working member of society, will contribute to the development of culture and the welfare of humankind. The Graduate School of Nanzan University currently comprises the f ive graduate schools of Humanities, International Area Studies, Social Sciences, Law, and Science and Engineering. In addition, to help meet the demands of an increasingly complicated and diverse world, we have established the Nanzan School of Law. We are also striving to foster highly specialized professionals.
Here is what our graduates have had to say:
“It’s the really close relationships formed between the students and teachers that make an education at Nanzan University so outstanding.” “Nanzan means an international education in earnest.” “The Nanzan advantage: it’s an international education.” “The great thing about Nanzan is its stress on human dignity and the atmosphere of freedom you feel there.”
