In the Global Connectivity (GC) program, students explore both the humanities – culture, literature, and philosophy – which allows them to find meaning and values of our lives, and technologies, such as computation and AI, which are the foundation of our modern society. Collectively, this combination provides students with literacy over both advanced technology and arts; literacy that is informed by critical thinking and transdisciplinary analysis. In the GC program, students identify and explore connections between the humanities and technology and develop a holistic appreciation of their connectedness, allowing them to serve as effective bridges between these two domains in future society.
This “DX/Data Science Human Resource Development Program,” developed in collaboration with Murakumo Co., Ltd., is part of Akita International University's (AIU) efforts to promote Applied International Liberal Arts Education (AILA), which was introduced in 2021, and is positioned as an initiative to solve issues facing Akita and the international community at large. As part of AIU's approach to addressing one of the challenges within Akita Prefecture—‘Data Science and Digital Transformation’—this program aims to cultivate DX and data science talent in the region. It is implemented targeting students from universities and junior colleges within the prefecture, including AIU. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
