Undergraduate Program
Social Work Course, Undergraduate Program in Social Work
Society faces many difficulties such as children's poverty, young people who are "shut-ins," individuals who are isolated by disabilities, and the many challenges faced by senior citizens in a rapidly aging society. The Seirei School of Social Work seeks to develop graduates who will support these citizens-in-need and who will work to address these problems and help to build a better society. The Seirei School of Social Work's response to these challenges is to train Social Workers who will not only be active in the social welfare sector, but who will also excel in the medical, educational, judicial, and regional support fields.
Care Work Course, Undergraduate Program in Social Work
In the Seirei Christopher University Care Work program, students learn both the theories and practical skills to serve and support people with disabilities, as well as the family who serve as caregivers in everyday life. The Seirei program nurtures our graduates to become Care Worker professionals who support others in living a happy life. This is done through students mastering specialized knowledge and skills in addition to developing empathy for those members of humanity in need. This is the foundational value of all of Seirei.
Undergraduate Program in Child Education and Social Work
A key social problem is that family stress has greatly increased. This leads to an unhealthy family environment, child-raising anxiety, and even child abuse. In addition to high quality education, high quality and affordable childcare, and high quality education for children, families also need support for parents. This calls for highly qualified and responsible professionals who can take responsibility for creating a nurturing environment in which healthy children can be raised. In the Child Education and Social Work department, our goal is to nurture professional leaders who can comprehensively support the creation of healthy and safe environments in which to raise children.
Graduate Program
There have been significant changes in both peoples' awareness of social welfare and in the accompanying social and economic circumstances across society. It is expected that social welfare service must cover peoples' entire lives and plays a significant role in helping individuals maintain social stability and wellbeing. The Graduate programs of the School of Social Work are the first to have been developed in Shizuoka Prefecture and remains the only graduate program focused on social welfare, child and family welfare, and nursing care welfare. These graduate programs reconcile the fields of social welfare and professional education. Our programs also advance professionals who play key roles in seeking the integration of these fields, while at the same time pursuing higher levels of specialty.
