At the first School of Psychology in Japan, the School of Psychology in Chukyo University was founded as a result of reformation of the Department of Psycology in the School of Letters in 2000. The reasons for having one department is to give students the opportunity to study the various aspects of Psychology, while at the some time designing a curriculum based on the individual students interests as they advance.
The School of Psychology has continuously responded to the demands of modern society, which is referred to as the "age of the mind", by adhering to comprehensive education and research in the four main fields of Psychology: basic, applied, clinical as well as developmental which was added at the launch of this School.
Education in the fundamentals of psychology, as well as liberal arts and language education, is emphasized for the first two years. Education in the fundamentals of psychology is to lay the groundwork for his or her understanding of psychology as a whole, so that each student may proceed into the most desired field.
Psychology students should choose basic education curriculum that builds the fundamentals for an interest in psychology and for future learning for the first two years. These include "Various Areas of Modern Psychology", "Statistics for Psychology", "Basic Statistics", "Computer Seminar" and so on.
Since the founding of the School, a majority of the courses have been converted to two-credit half-semester courses.This was implemented in respond to the conversion into the semester system. In addition to the previous curriculum, courses that have been assigned to the first and second year students, include Reading Seminars and Seminar on Psychology Data Processing. Second and third year students are also required to take each of the following introductory courses: Experimental Psychology, Applied Psychology and Clinical Psychology.
In addition to classes specific to each of the basic, applied, clinical and developmental fields for third and fouth year students, the school provides opportunities to learn not only through books but also through experience. Furthermore, we let students learn the methods for further research by offering courses such as "Psychology Measurements", "Psycho Examination" and "Psychological Data Analysis". Fieldwork training, that was not included in undergraduate school up to this point, covers the areas of Clinical Psychology Fieldwork Training to provide counseling to compel truant students to return to school, Applied Psychology Training during study trips to factories, and Developmental Psychology Fieldwork Training to support childrearing mothers.
This School supports highly motivated students wishing to study abroad through several academic student exchange agreements with overseas universities. We now have a new program that students can study psychology for three weeks in the University of Canberra in Australia. The number of students who take advantage of this program by passing the test for exchange study is increasing every year.
