An educational environment for safely nurturing healthy children is an element that forms the foundation of a variety of educational activities, and in today's complex social environment, there is a growing need to create such safe, secure, and healthy educational environments. At the same time, issues relating to health and safety are growing ever more complex and diverse due to societal development, and there is a need to develop human resources with a wealth of ingenuity who can create healthy and safe educational environments from a wide range of perspectives.

In this major, our aim is to develop human resources who have the scientific ability to understand, and the applied skills to address, safety, security and health issues in the educational environment—such as school safety, physical/mental health and safety, food safety and hygiene, and community safety—as well as the ability to contribute to the creation of healthy and safe educational environments in schools, local resident organizations, corporations, local governments, NPOs, and a variety of other settings.

In other words, the main theme of this major is achieving a "cross-sectoral, comprehensive understanding of issues relating to health and safety." Students acquire specialized knowledge relating to food, clothing, and housing that is indispensable for healthy living; learn about actual examples of crisis response involving schools or communities; examine real-life case studies of safety education; and master the skills to support the safety of society using scientific techniques.

　The distinguishing feature of the Health and Safety Sciences Major is its extensive catalog of diverse lecture subjects and practical subjects focused on experiments, hands-on training, and exercises. Students advance according to the following program on their way to attaining cross-sectoral and comprehensive understanding of issues relating to health and safety.
