For more than half a century since its founding, the Department of English Studies has had as its educational mission “to provide students with practical English language skills and knowledge of a broad range of cultural backgrounds, and to send them out into society as individuals who can play an active role anywhere in the world.” The world has changed over time, but our mission remains the same. In the midst of rapidly advancing globalization, we are further strengthening the two pillars of our education: outstanding English language skills and a broad-based liberal arts education. In particular, the department offers nine courses of study to cultivate people with not only a broad range of knowledge, but also deeper expertise. Graduates of the department have gone on to diverse fields of study and are active worldwide.
