Undergraduate Program of Information Science
Foundational Education Subjects
Through the Program-wide Subjects, students acquire broad cultural knowledge, rich human qualities, and language skills essential in a globalized society. In the Specialized Foundamental Subjects, students study mathematics, physics, and other fundamental subjects that underpin specialized education, learning in a practical manner through exercises and experiments.
Specialized Program Subjects
Programming courses and laboratory/exercise courses offered in the first through third years, as well as the graduation research project in the fourth year, are compulsory. In addition, students systematically acquire specialized knowledge through course groups classified into areas such as computer-related fields, human–media studies, information and communication, systems and control, and electrical and electronic fundamentals.
Graduation Research
In the fourth year, students conduct graduation research under the supervision of faculty members, working on research topics aligned with their individual interests.

Lecture Courses
With the aim of cultivating researchers and engineers with advanced expertise, the program offers lecture courses covering specialized and up-to-date topics in information engineering. Students may select courses according to their interests and desired career paths. Note that in the Interaction Design Course, the course classification for some subjects differs.
Research Supervision
The required courses include Advanced Laboratory and Exercises in Information Science I, II, III, and IV, as well as Special Project Laboratory and Exercises I, II, III, and IV (Specified Project-Based Course). Under faculty supervision, students determine their own research themes and plan and carry out their research activities.
