Reitaku education is based on the basic philosophy of education of "knowledge unity of knowledge and virtue" based on Moralogy College" Moralogy" advocated by Dr. Hiroike, and aims to cultivate a spirit of benevolence in the hearts of students, and on top of that, to have them acquire modern science, technology, and knowledge, and to develop people who can contribute to the development of the nation and society and the realization of peace, happiness, and security for humanity. In order to achieve the SDGs, it is necessary to develop human resources who can carry out the SDGs in the present and future, which leads to the development of "dignified global leaders" who contribute to the world and the local community, as we call them today at our university.
