Concept
Cultivating a perspective both global and local—training students to be professionals who know how to find answers and give realistic shape to solutions.
Students learn theories and perspectives to perceive the world in a multidimensional way.
Over a hundred years have elapsed since the founding of Sophia University, and in the Course of these decades the institution has acquired an appropriate framework and body of know-how for the enrichment of global competency, an academic system based on intellectual enquiry and language skills, a multitude of openings for students to study abroad and other such benefits, all rooted in values and perspectives shared with people around the globe. Taking due advantage of its accumulated experience of a century and more of global education, Sophia is intent on turning out globally oriented and public-minded intellectuals, through the competent and effectual fostering of perceptions and principles that provide an insightful grasp of the world around us.
