The school corporation Kyoto Ikueikan, which operates Tomakomai Komazawa University, decided to change the university name to Hokuyo University from 2021 and applied to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.With the change of school name, we are planning to make a major change in the curriculum centered on foreign languages.
According to Tomakomai Komazawa University, the name of the new university is taken from the widely known "Hokkaido" and "Pacific", one letter at a time, and the idea is to train human resources who can fly to the world from Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, which faces the Pacific Ocean. ..
The new curriculum is expected to be subject to changes in the department, and is under consideration within the university, but all current students from the 1st grade to the 4th grade will take the current curriculum until graduation.
Tomakomai Komazawa University was opened in 1965 by the school corporation Komazawa University as Tomakomai Komazawa Junior College, and was reorganized into a four-year Tomakomai Komazawa University in 1998.In recent years, the number of students has continued to fall below the limit, and the business condition has deteriorated. Therefore, in 4, it was transferred from Komazawa University to Kyoto Ikueikan.
It is a college only for the Faculty of International Cultural Studies, and has five courses such as the Department of International Cultural Studies and the Department of Career Creation, Community / Administration, and Hokkaido / Ainu Culture, and about 5 students are enrolled.
