The Curriculum at Osaka Gakuin University

A “Summer Session” and a “Spring Session” with mostly intensive courses will be held during summer and spring holidays.

Purpose of the “Quarter System”

The purposes of adopting the “Quarter System” are as follows:

  • To promote courses that are short-term and intensive.
    (To substantiate credit by increasing in learning time.)
  • To quickly identify the actual level of student’s learning by completing each subject in around 7 weeks.
  • To support the realization of a flexible learning schedule.
    (Enabling studying abroad, internship, volunteer activities etc.)
  • To enable tie-up programs with other institutions.
