With the spread of social networking services and the development of cloud computing, IT for business applications continues to advance.It is also reported that there is an absolute shortage of IT personnel for system construction and security related to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.Under these circumstances, the university, which has nurtured top leaders in the field of IT applications and produced competent human resources, is attracting increasing attention, and the number of applicants for admission from Japan and abroad is rapidly growing.In response to this situation, the university has decided to increase its admission capacity in order to meet the demands of society.
With the increase in enrollment, the capacity will be 600 students in FY 2018 and 720 students in FY 2019 and thereafter.
