The goal of the faculty is to raise specialists demanded by society, who have professional knowledge and practical ability in the basic disciplines of the social sciences, that is, sociology, economics, and political science. The curriculum covers a variety of subjects in each area and allows individual students to choose certain subjects on their own, combine them, and devise his/her own specialty. As an open model of major management, it certainly is an advantage over existing university system.

Students who pursue a B. A. in sociology have freedom to take not only sociology, political science, and economics, which the faculty originally offers, but also other related fields of study allowed by their double major in the first 2 years of their university study. From the 3rd year, they can get special training and education in their double major area, including NGO area, thus deepening their knowledge and expanding their perspectives on future society. The faculty puts a special emphasis on the tutorial system in which professors teach their students on a one-to-one basis and heightens its quality of education. In addition, small-group study activities among students with the same major and similar interests function as an incentive for the students?self-development and academic progress.
