EducationEducation5TOPICSSchool of General Education: where rst-year stu-dents from all faculties come togetherDevelopment of human resources equipped with practical skills in both local communities and on the global stageCultivation of an environmental mindset that uti-lizes Shinshu’s natural environmentShinshu University has eight faculties in five campuses spread across Nagano Prefecture. First-year students from all faculties study together at the School of General Education on the Matsumoto Campus taking general education programs.Shinshu University: Cross-Faculty Competency Training Program was established in the 2017 academic year as a means of developing talented human resources equipped with the practical skills needed to work in both local communities and on the global stage.The program has three courses: Local Innovator Development Course (started in FY2017); the Global Core Competency Program (started in FY2018); and the Eco-Mind Program: Experience-Based Training for Environmental Competence (started in FY2019).By participating in the University’s annual overseas study trip on environmental management, students learn to view environmental issues from many different perspectives while acquiring practical knowledge and skills they will be able to use in their future careers. The course is now in its 11th year. Our “environmental education” is one element of a unique curriculum made possible by Shinshu’s rich natural environment.Shinshu University was selected for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)’s “Regional Reactivation by Universities as Centers of Communities” (COC+ Program) (FY 2015 – 2019), and is working hard to provide career education and employment support rooted in the local community.From the introduction of a portfolio that encourages students to view both their academic work and their day-to-day lives with an awareness of their future from the moment they join the University, to educational initiatives and internships run in collaboration with local businesses and municipalities, our mission is to develop human resources who will play a part in revitalizing our region.Improved career education and employment support rooted in the local communityThe overseas study trip on environmental management, which is carried out every year.What is Special aboutOur Programs ?Cross-Faculty Competency Training ProgramLocal Innovator Training CourseGlobal Core Competency ProgramEco-Mind Program: Experience-Based Training for Environmental CompetenceAn architecture lecture at the “Narai-juku” in the old staging-post town of Nakasendo
