  2. Faculty Members

A wide variety of faculty members are employed at the Center for Liberal Arts and Sciences. All 31 members – 10 in General Subjects, 16 in Basic Subjects, and 5 in Foreign Language Subjects – work together to provide a liberal arts education to the undergraduate students. Some faculty members teach graduate courses which are related to their expertise, and also supervise graduation and Masters’ theses. We also conduct research activities in our own respective fields of expertise. For more information on our research, please see Monthly Column, Recent Research Results, and Research Gathering (these pages are in Japanese only).
