The rapid growth of internet usage has advanced the spread of information, but at the same time the psychological relationships between people have become diluted, and communication is becoming more difficult in modern society. There is a need for individuals with the capacity to provide psychological support and promote the maintenance of mental health for the people around them. The Faculty of Psychology strives to develop such individuals equipped with the ability to provide such psychological support.
The underlying basis of education in the Faculty of Psychology is the principle of "Do for others". In order to cultivate the self-understanding and self-help needed to achieve this, the curriculum is based on an introduction to psychology combined with general psychological theory. Later studies include practical programs such as counseling and special education training to build on this foundation.
A major characteristic of study in the Faculty of Psychology is the close interaction graduate students have with the undergraduate students. In this way the path to graduate studies is paved for students in addition to the many other career paths available to them. The Department of Education and Child Development is also available for the cultivation of educators. At Meiji Gakuin University, the progress of education for strengthening the mind advances each and every day.
