SEITOKU UNIVERSITY JUNIOR COLLEGE
Seitoku University Junior College provides students with intensive yet
condensed training in a wide rangeof specialized skills that are readily
adaptable in society




The aim of a junior college is to provide career-essential skills and knowledge in a two-year period. However, it is not enough to simply arm students with specific skills and knowledge, then turn them out into the working world to learn how to apply and further develop them. The purpose of university study is to provide real-life practice and expose students to social morals, ethics and art, providing them with the foundation of a well-balanced adult.
   Because of the academic subjects and the same Seitoku Gakuen educational spirit it has in common with the four-year university, the Junior College provides strong support for raising the skill level of each of its students. Small class sizes and in-depth instruction in a wide range of subjects ensure that graduates are knowledgeable and adaptable by the time they enter larger society.

Department of Early Childhood Care and EducationCompassionate preschool teachers and daycare teachers trained
through the "Seitoku for Child Education " system

The Department of Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) boasts a long tradition, with Seitoku University’s enviable track record through the "Seitoku for Child Education" system. Thanks to the department’s sterling reputation, hiring rates in ECCE and kindergarten education are exceptionally high. The objective of this department is to take students with the most important trait----a liking for children----and through a structured curriculum systematically train them to become professionals in childcare, well-founded in both theory and technique. We have adopted a specialized course system through which students can concentrate more intensively on their chosen specialty and utilize their talent in their teaching career. Classes are taught almost exclusively by full-time instructors, with Seitoku's high level of education standards, characterized by careful, thorough teaching that has received high praise from those in the child-care industry.
