Overview of FLA and SPSF>>13:00-13:45

The Faculty of Liberal Arts (FLA), originally established in 1949 as the International Division of the university, offers
an English-taught liberal arts curriculum which enables students to acquire a strong academic foundation andintellectual orientation before selecting a disciplinary major. Its academic programs are designed to equip graduates with flexible and critical thinking, linguistic abilities, and cultural skills necessary to take the lead in bridging
differences and promoting understanding in today’s increasingly multicultural and complex world. Diversity in theFLA student body, comprised of over fifty nationalities, including students educated at Japanese and international
high schools in Japan, as well as both degree students and exchange students from abroad, provides an ideal
environment for achieving the FLA’s educational mission.
Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures (SPSF), a new English-taught program established in 2020, offers bachelor's degrees in seven fields of study: journalism, education, sociology, economics, management, international
relations, and area studies. Prospective students will specify their desired field of study at the time of enrollment,take courses in English in their respective specialties, and work toward their bachelor’s degrees. SPSF will offer
discipline-based classes where students can enhance their knowledge in their respective fields of study as well asinterdisciplinary classes offered with the cooperation of the relevant departments. Cross-listed discipline-basedclasses will also be open to students who wish to take courses in different departments that relate to their owncurricula. Utilizing these classes, this program will focus on helping students learn perspectives and modes ofthinking in both their own areas and different areas in hopes of nurturing a sensitivity to diversity.
This section will focus on introducing these English-taught undergraduate programs; FLA and SPSF.

Learning for Sustainable Futures

How I benefitted from my experience
at Sophia University

This mock lecture introduces i) a brief outline of SPSF,ii) meaningful learning for sustainable futures, and iii)
learning with other students.
Sustainable Futures are something we create for thewell-being of people and society. SPSF provides you
with lessons across the six departments, including thefirst-year common lectures and the third year seminarfor all SPSF students to take together.
University education is the final preparation stage forlifelong learning. Our learning becomes more effective when we find meanings in the contents forourselves, which means that we are not receivers of
information provided by someone else but the ownersof knowledge. Your ideas must be unique and meaningful for a sustainable future, but you will needfriends to make them better. SPSF will be such a
collaboration space because various students comefrom the whole world.
