Exploring Various Social Phenomena The College of Social Sciences aims to equip students with the insights and capabilities that they need to actively and rationally respond to the social environment by exploring overall social phenomena. The college not only teaches theories, but also allows students to pursue empirical research (experiments, field study, and survey), to strike an optimal balance between theory and practice. In addition, the college contributes to the development of social sciences through joint research with the Institute of Social Science Research.
