Program Description

In the Department of Nutrition and Health Promotion, basic competence, including knowledge, skills, and attitudes, are cultivated so that students can cope with various specialized fields. Students learn nutrition and health management methods suitable for target populations. Students also develop the capability to connect the evidence-based science of nutrition with people's lives. This gives them the expertise to develop improvement plans for their client's actual diet and eating behavior, which allows them to put diet improvement activities into practice with a sense of ethics. Moreover, they cultivate capabilities as specialists of diet and health who can appropriately deal with social changes and the needs of different groups of people to make a positive contribution to society.

The specialized areas of dietitians covers a wide range, such as, medical care, welfare, dietary education, health promotion and sports. Every dietitian’s work is carried out based on science and ethics.

About the School

From the time of its founding based on Christian principles, Hiroshima Jogakuin University has endeavored to educate women able to make full use of their own rational judgment to be responsible citizens in whatever position they take on in society. As responsible world citizens, our students and graduates will accept with understanding all people they encounter across national boundaries and cultural differences.

In order to actualize these educational aims, we have two faculties - one conceived of as a college of liberal arts and the other as a college of professional arts. Our goal is to train students to deepen their understanding of humanity while developing global perspectives and to gain a high degree of expertise as they obtain certification and licensing in various fields to serve society.

In addition, core curriculum courses covering writing and oral presentation, computer literacy, and career planning provide students with ways to gain life skills which will help them throughout their lives. Also, courses in women's history and internships are offered for students to gain a better understanding of themselves, their society, and their world. To be sure, there are courses of particular interest related to Hiroshima such as peace studies, as well as overseas study programs and overseas internships.

Hiroshima Jogakuin University exists for women. Women are the main players. We provide opportunities for students to search within their hearts and minds, to raise their skills and to gain the confidence to grow to become leaders in society. Our Empowerment Center serves graduates at any time as they traverse through life, whether it be about career, marriage, raising children, or becoming a caregiver.

A 21st century women's university must not only provide ways to acquire far-reaching knowledge and professional expertise; it must educate citizens to act with a strong sense of justice and personal integrity.

To educate and graduate women with all these strengths. This is our mission.
