Recruitment of working adult students

As a national policy, one of the educational goals of universities, regardless of whether they are in the humanities or sciences, is to "cultivate individuals who have acquired skills in statistics and data analysis."
Against this backdrop, Future University Hakodate has established and launched the Data Science Open Program to provide a systematic approach to acquiring data science skills. We are now accepting applications for this program from both our students and working professionals.
