The tendency to reconstruct the university curriculum has been accelerated in Japan. Some universities attempt to extend the length of each lecture hour and adopt the quarter system. It seems epochal, but it could bring gaps between higher education and secondary education. In the age of universal university admission, universities in Japan face challenging issues and try to address them through the process of trial and error. In this paper, one issue a women’s university in the Kyushu region faces will be examined as a case study. It will be argued that any school curriculum should be planned by considering its spirit, tradition, and environment.
