University "in an effort to focus the development of human resources" is Akita International University（「人材育成の取り組みで注目する大学」は国際教養大学）

I heard the Nihon Keizai Shimbun personnel of the leading companies in the top university "in an effort to focus the development of human resources", a public university in Akita Prefecture, Akita International University has become the first place. University is known for thorough study of liberal arts education and mandated, a collection of almost three times the support of the University of Tokyo in second place. University of Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific Ocean to collect third place many international students (APU). Expectations of the company to develop human resources with the international nature and culture became a relief.
Obtained a summary of responses from 136 companies. The answer is the focus of corporate university human resource development initiatives can play an active role in society "and" Some 60 companies. I got up to three cited the University of concrete these companies, 35 companies and answers large international culture. Todai was 13 companies.
International Liberal Studies major open in the city of Akita in 2004. Requires that the conduct of almost all classes in English, in collaboration with their foreign students to live in the dormitories and domestic students to study abroad for one year. APU opened in the University, Beppu, Oita Prefecture in 2000 10 companies have chosen. APU is foreign students accounted for about half of the students have been offered in both Japanese and English about 80% of the undergraduate lecture.
On the other hand, "seeks to university education from the standpoint of recruiting new graduates," I heard the (up to three answers), the # 1 "strengthening of liberal arts education" (78 companies), education enhances the ability "in second communication was (67 companies) ". In addition, improve content "in support of student studying abroad" such as that the 4-position (34 companies), the international nature and the large Liberal International Liberal Studies, APU has been evaluated to focus on high.
Some rush to expand overseas, there is a possibility that conventional changed significantly the contents of a university education expect to Japanese companies. Likely also affect the reorganization of the university curriculum and faculty review. From that sense, the more adaptable a small regional university is also to hear from the University of Zutai big, I guess can respond flexibly to the demands of society and companies. I will follow the fate that could have gone are the following selection must be converted to larger contents of the University of Tokyo. It would be the world and society that about to change the greater.



日本経済新聞社が主要企業の人事トップに「人材育成の取り組みで注目する大学」を聞いたところ、秋田県の公立大学、国際教養大学が首位になった。同大は留学義務付けや教養教育の徹底で知られ、２位の東京大学の３倍近い支持を集めた。３位は多くの留学生を集める立命館アジア太平洋大学（ＡＰＵ）。国際性や教養を備えた人材育成への企業の期待が浮き彫りとなった。

　136 社から回答を得てまとめた。社会で活躍できる人材育成の取り組みで注目する大学が「ある」と答えた企業は60社。それら企業に具体的な大学を３つまで挙げ てもらったところ、35社が国際教養大と回答。東大は13社だった。

　国際教養大は2004年に秋田市に開学。ほぼすべての授業を英語で行い、学生に１年間の海外留学や国内の寮で外国人留学生らと共同生活する ことを義務付けている。00年に大分県別府市で開学したＡＰＵは10社が選んだ。ＡＰＵは外国人留学生が学生の約半数を占め、学部講義の約80％を日本語 と英語の両方で開講している。

　一方、「新卒者を採用する立場から大学教育に求めるもの」（３つまで回答）を聞いたところ、１位が「教養教育の強化」（78社）、２位が 「コミュニケーション能力を高める教育」（67社）となった。このほか、「在学中の留学支援」（34社）が４位となるなど、国際教養大、ＡＰＵが注力する 教養や国際性を向上させる内容が高く評価された。

　日本企業が海外展開を急ぐなか、大学に期待する教育の中身が従来とは大きく変わっている可能性がある。大学のカリキュラム見直しや学部再編にも影響を与えそうだ。その意味からも、図体のでかい大学よりも小さな地方大学のほうが小回りがきき、社会や企業の要請に柔軟に対応できるんでしょうね。東京大学も大きく内容的に転換していかなければ淘汰されていってしまう運命をたどりかねないでしょうね。それだけ世界や社会は大きく変わろうとしているということでしょうね。
