Initially, Faculty of Letters had a Department of English, Department of Cultural Studies and Department of Sociology, but each major in the Department of Cultural Studies was reorganized into each department when the Department of Sociology was reorganized as the Faculty of Social Studies in the 2005 academic year.
もともと文学部には英文学科、文化学科、社会学科が存在したが、2005年度より社会学科が社会学部へ改組されたのに伴い、文化学科の各専攻が学科へ改組。
