Theories and Technologies for Practical Usage

Currently in Japan, there is a serious gap in the quality of human resources between what mass-access universities produce and what business sector seeks, due to the lack of practical curriculum in such universities.

Among approximately seven hundred universities in Japan, about ten percent is research-oriented and the rest is mass-access (general). The mass-access universities should have been more pragmatic in designing more practice-based curricula, teaching practical technologies, and producing more desirable human resources for business. Nevertheless, Japanese universities have followed the principle "Academic Freedom and Independence," and claimed academism.

The pragmatism has been widely prevalent in the American society, and has its roots in pioneering spirits, resistance, and democracy. It claims, "act first" contrasting to academism, and denies "the quest for truth," but asserts that knowledge is an essential tool for living.

The rapid prevalence of computer and IT literacy, and America’s excellence in IT-related advanced technologies have been developed through this pragmatism. Following this ideal of pragmatism, the KCGI, as a professional school of applied information technology, has committed to equipping professionals with higher practical technological abilities that the ubiquitous computer era truly require.
