Message

University classes are categorized into specialized courses, which focus on individual areas of expertise, and liberal arts courses (commonly referred to as general education courses), which cover fields outside of one's specialization. In liberal arts courses, students can have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of academic disciplines, which helps to broaden their knowledge and perspectives.
