Class Objectives
/Class Outline The Faculty of Integrated Arts and Sciences is a faculty aiming at fusion of science and interdisciplinary research. There are many students who do not take science subjects at the University because they hate science subjects. Exploring science subjects in the first year of undergraduate studies, especially natural sciences, is important regardless of future choices. Regardless of the humanities and sciences in high school or future options, faculty members need to learn life sciences, natural environment science, and physical science in order to understand the natural sciences that exist around us. Life sciences are closely related to psychology and health sciences, and we, on the earth, need to understand the environment and the materials around us.
