Senior Division (Specialized Education)
Bldg.9
The Senior Division at Komaba was reorganized into six departments in the 1996-97 academic year. The primary goal of the Senior Division is to foster in its students a broad understanding of the complex issues facing human society in the 21st century. It is organized on the assumption that in order to respond effectively to these diverse contemporary problems, students need to be able both to discern and to transcend existing systems of categorization. Constant attention to curriculum reform within the Senior Division therefore embodies an ongoing search for effective ways to combine a solid academic grounding with cutting-edge specialized education. As a small and highly selective educational unit, the Division is also able to make productive use of student input and creativity. Following on from the tradition established at the time of its original establishment as the Department of Liberal Arts and the Department of Basic Sciences, Komaba's Senior Division continues to produce widely respected graduates ready to contribute their creative intelligence and problem-solving skills to society. While a significant number choose to pursue graduate studies, many also enter fields such as the civil service, the corporate world, educational or research institutions, and the media.
