Reitaku University has decided to change the class hours from 2022 minutes to 4 minutes per class from April 1.At the same time, in addition to the current semester system (two semesters), the academic calendar will be changed to a quarter system (four semesters).

 The purpose of the change is to qualitatively and structurally change the lessons, to provide a place for deep and intensive learning and growth, and to strengthen internationality. By changing to a 100-minute class, one semester will be changed from 1 weeks to 15 weeks, a quarter system can be introduced, and spring and summer vacations will be longer than before, so there will be more room in the schedule.

 Utilizing this new academic calendar that can be operated in a variety of ways and flexibly, we will further expand student-centered classes using active learning methods such as flipped classrooms.In addition, by introducing September admission to the new academic calendar, we will further strengthen the study abroad of students and the acceptance of foreign students.

 The quarter system not only promotes "structural transformation of lessons" that provides more intensive lessons of two classes per week, but also makes it easier to participate in long-term internships and overseas study / training by taking advantage of long vacations. Create diverse learning opportunities outside of class.After studying well, you can spend a more fulfilling and well-balanced student life, such as spending time on sports, extracurricular activities, and making friends.

 President Suminori Tokunaga said, "The introduction of this 100-minute class and the change of the academic calendar are the first steps in educational reform that will connect Reitaku University, which has strong educational capabilities, to the next generation. We aim to develop a dignified Global Leader who can think logically, communicate, and act. "
