The Graduate Program of International Cooperation Studies (GPIC) is structured around three main pillars: 1) peacebuilding and international relations, 2) international educational development, and 3) the promotion of sustainable societies. Students are free to select and complete courses from across the Graduate School of Global Studies, according to their own interests, thereby enhancing their specialization.

Many courses are offered in English, designed to serve as practical training for developing international careers.

Moreover, many faculty members possess practical experience with international organizations, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and research institutes, providing students with the fundamental way of thinking, knowledge, and skills essential for working in organizations dedicated to addressing global challenges.
