Shukutoku University was established in 1965, when the public interest in social welfare was not as high as today. Predicting future trends, the University was composed of the Social Welfare Department, Faculty of Social Welfare, as a single-department University.
he objective of the University is to "cultivate human resources who can contribute to the realization of 'self-reliance and social solidarity of each individual' through the practice of social welfare". The thought has always been with us since the establishment of the University, that the realization of "welfare" can only be achieved based on solidarity among all kinds of people, including children, senior citizens and people with disabilities, and the coexistence of everything that has a "life".
