This paper examines the concept that is applied in Japanese university education in Liberal Arts. The basic information, diploma policy, and curriculum policy in the faculties of the Arts and Sciences since April 2016 have been used for the analysis. I have especially focused on analyzing the title of the field wherein the concept represents Liberal Arts in specialized education. Liberal Arts, as specialized education, contains traditional academic disciplines, interdisciplinary fields, and vocational education that is required today. I also analyzed the data of the diploma policy in the faculty of Arts and Sciences in the cluster analysis as a text analysis and content analysis. As a result, the faculty of Arts and Sciences provides opportunities for students to learn through university education, and it expects students to acquire “a learning skill” through liberal arts as specialized education.
