Enrollment and Admission for Academic Year 2008

Attracting motivated students, under the motto of “putting knowledge into practice.”

For the school's mid-term goal, we aim to establish an admission policy that matches our motto of “putting knowledge into practice” and character-building education, and to draw motivated students with character and specialized talents.

In academic year 2007, we made efforts to admit motivated students by revising curricula in each Faculty, and discussing ways to improve the admission system for the Faculty of Nursing and the Faculty of Software and Information Science. We also made efforts to publicize the appeal of the school, by building a network with high schools, giving lectures on demand, and gaining more media coverage.

As a result, we were able to meet the enrollment standard for the 2008 admission. However, we will continue to work on the admission issue, especially for graduate schools.
