In the midst of changes in people's values ​​and the ever-changing social structure, the nature of design is undergoing major changes, and its scope is expanding. Remarkable research results in various fields such as electronics, information and communication technology, civil engineering, architecture, medicine, and welfare acquire form for the first time through the creative act of design, and are returned to people's lives.

Now that the door to the new century has opened, there is no greater need today than today for the development of human resources who can comprehensively explore design from a new perspective while drawing on the accumulation of the 20th century.

The founding philosophy of Nagaoka University of Art and Design is to "explore true human richness through modeling, and cultivate human resources who have the creative power to return this to society." They hope to play a role as a place for practical education and research.
