Through the KIKAN education, students learn fundamental academic skills for new knowledge acquisition and problem solving, such as how to look, think, and learn critically. The KIKAN education combines general education subjects and departmental courses to train active learners for whom learning is at the core of their being. Active learners take initiative to challenge the status quo and aren't afraid to take on unprecedented problems and new situations. The KIKAN education is also unique as it provides excellent collaborative opportunities for learning and discussion among groups of students across the humanities and the sciences such as Interdisciplinary Collaborative Learning of Social Issues and KIKAN education seminars.
