This page summarizes Human Science, general education, and literacy credit requirements for graduation and progression under different faculties, campuses, academic years, and study models.
Engineering Faculty, Tokyo Senju Campus: 2025 requirements
For graduation, students must earn at least 16 credits in Human Science subjects. This total must include at least one 2-credit Technical Literacy course and at least one 2-credit Global Literacy course. If you complete multiple courses in either group, those credits are recognized within the Human Science subject category. The same requirement is also described as 2 credits in Technical Liberal Arts and 2 credits in Global Liberal Arts.
Engineering Faculty, Second Division: 2025 requirements
Within the Human Science subjects, you must earn 2 credits in Technical Literacy and 2 credits in Global Literacy.
Science and Technology Faculty: 2026 Information Systems Design study model
You must earn at least 12 Human Science credits to progress from the third to the fourth year, and 16 Human Science credits to graduate.
Engineering Faculty, Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department: 2025 requirement
The requirement for the learning and education objective of acquiring general education as a person is at least 16 credits in total. The four courses listed under Generic Skills and Career are each worth 2 credits: Learning at Tokyo Denki University, Academic Skills, Information and Occupations, and Logical Thinking.
