Introduction -

Established in August, 2007, our graduate school branched into three academic fields: the visual (arts), the auditory (music) and the kinesthetic (drama and dance). Our department meets the goals of the Nine-Year Compulsory Curriculum in Arts Education Policy, while integrating with diverse Departments and academic arts organizations to promote Arts and Humanities Education Area. The graduated school program also has joint faculty with Teacher Education Center.
