The goal of the Department of Human Behavioral Sciences is to conduct in-depth studies into humans and human behavior from a broad perspective, through research in fields such as philosophy and thought, educational theory, life-long education, cognitive and developmental psychology, clinical psychology, music, physical education, and sports. This Department offers three main courses: Education- Philosophical Anthropology, which examines human existence and culture, and the formation of the human being; Studies for Human Relations and Behaviors, which examines human behavior; and Sport Science, which focuses on sports culture and sports activities, and conducts specialized research into the phenomena of physical action.
[Expectations of Students]
Students applying for studies in this Division should have a clear research outlook based on studies and research in an Undergraduate Department, as well as a sincere awareness of problems based in social life. The Department shares the philosophy of Nara Women's University in that women should advance their role in society, and so seeks students with a strong desire to give back to society the benefits of their research in this Department in the future. Given that after completion of this Program students will have the opportunity to move on to the Doctoral Program and acquire a Ph.D., these students must have a high level of motivation, and the ability to conduct independent research.
