The Graduate Program in Global Studies emphasizes inquiry into global processes in the contemporary world and their historical antecedents. Its English-taught curriculum combines the perspectives and methods of academic disciplines with cross-cultural understandings of Japan and other world regions. Through mentoring and coursework, students master the skills to conduct research on topics tailored to their individual academic interests and career goals. The thirty-two faculty members have advanced degrees from leading universities and are internationally active researchers. The curriculum is supported by affiliated professors from other graduate programs in the university as well as adjunct professors. These instructors represent over a dozen nationalities, ensuring a diversity of viewpoints and experiences. Each semester up to fifteen applicants are admitted to the MA degree programs and one or two applicants admitted to pursue a Ph.D.degree. The student body consists of international students and Japanese nationals with varied cultural backgrounds. Additionally, a few students are admitted each year as MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Science Technology) research students, with the expectation that they will apply for the MA or Ph.D. degree programs. The small number of students encourages close student-faculty interaction.
