Major and Minor Course Credit Requirements
This page explains the graduation-credit breakdown for major and minor courses at the Faculty of Science and Engineering, including requirements for students whose minor is in the same or another system.
2026 requirements: minor in the same or another system
For the 2026 requirements at Saitama Hatoyama Campus in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, the credit breakdown totals 80 credits. If the minor is in another system, the breakdown is: 28 credits in common subjects of the student's own system, 26 credits in major-course specialized subjects, 14 credits from the designated subject group for the minor, and 12 credits in self-selected subjects. If the minor is in the student's own system, the breakdown is: 34 credits in common subjects of the student's own system, 26 credits in major-course specialized subjects, 8 credits in minor-course specialized subjects, and 12 credits in self-selected subjects. Thus, the major-course specialized-subject requirement is 26 credits in the same-system case, the minor-course specialized-subject requirement is 8 credits, and the own-system common-subject requirement is 34 credits. When the minor is in another system, the own-system common-subject requirement is 28 credits.
2025 science-system study model
For the 2025 science-system study model at Saitama Hatoyama Campus in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, students must earn 14 credits for the minor from the designated subject group as part of the graduation requirements when the minor is in another system.
2025 life-science-system study model
For the 2025 life-science-system study model at Saitama Hatoyama Campus in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, students must earn the required credits in the common-subject and minor-course categories from the designated groups required for the minor by graduation. The supplied requirement does not specify a numerical credit total.
