Overview
This is the Japan’s first graduate school that researches administration, offering a master’s degree program (granting a master’s degree) and a doctoral degree program (granting a doctoral degree). The master’s degree program has four courses (public management, business management, information administration, and nursing administration) allowing you to acquire the basic concept of administration from various sectors, and implements problem-based education and research that can respond to the request of a community. The doctoral degree program not only implements education and research for solving problems that occur in various fields of society from various angles and comprehensively with advanced knowledge and judgment, but also implements education and research that increases the adequacy and reliability of issue solution by deepening and developing the theory of administration further. Moreover, in order to respond to the request of the advanced recurrent education to members of society, we adopt a Saturday course and a day/evening course system.
