International Graduate Program (C) on Global Values, Decision Making, and Culture
Master and Doctoral Program
Program description
This program targets interdisciplinary studies on global values, decision making, and culture. Solving the social problems in the 21st century requires appropriate understanding of global values and cultures in the world, and prominent ability on value judgment and decision making. Lecture courses (Category I to IV) in this program give students essential knowledge of values, decision making, culture, and technologies. “Discussion and Presentation” courses (Category V) require that students have a presentation on your research once a year and brush up discussion skills through debates and group presentations. Special seminars (Category VI) provide basics on humanities, social sciences, mathematics, information sciences, and communication skills. Through “Projects, Workshops, and Internships” (Category VII) and Colloquium with supervisors, students can improve their expertise. Master thesis and Doctoral dissertation are mandatory for gaining master's degree and doctoral degree, respectively.
