Educational and Research Organization
In order to upgrade an education program that blends veterinary medicine and animal
husbandry, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine restructured
the school system into a course system in fiscal 2008. As for the academic staff
re-organization, we have a research faculty consisting of 7 departments and 16
divisions.
As a result of this re-organization, academic staff members who belong to the
research faculty can be involved in the curricula in various ways.
In the course system, we have re-organized the former 10 special education units
into 6. By setting up this system, the framework of special education can be more
flexibly modified or improved according to students’needs or social conditions.
In view of the smooth relationship between education and research, we have set up
the“Center for University Educational Affairs”, which is responsible for the planning
of curricula and practice of undergraduate and graduate education. This center
carries out necessary adjustments between the educational and research organizations.
It also supports teachers’class improvement, and students’study environment, etc.
