Unlike universities with various faculties, at colleges and universities, there are few opportunities for students to be exposed to academic subjects outside of their field, even in the first year and general education stages. At art universities, practical courses are often introduced early on, so students have fewer opportunities to be exposed to other fields. Among them, it is difficult to set subjects related to natural science and even earth and planetary science. Many universities make their university syllabi public, and you can search for keywords such as "Earth" and "Earth Science." If you actually do a search, you may find universities that offer courses related to earth and planetary science if they have a large number of students and a fairly diverse number of courses, but it is difficult to find them in small universities. It is sometimes treated in a category such as ``natural science,'' but this often depends on the instructor's policy. ``Space'' and ``Astronomy'' may also be included in the content. In the natural sciences, subjects such as chemistry are included in the categories of conservation and restoration or curator qualification subjects, and it appears that priority is given to areas that are likely to be related to some extent, so students outside the field In order to provide educational opportunities to students, it is necessary to devise a strategy that takes into account the student's desire and purpose to study.
