Overview

Key facts

As such, students acquire the basic knowledge and methodologies of various academic fields through their study of the multidisciplinary subjects in the School of Integrated Arts and Sciences. This is intended to form the basis from which they will be able to discuss the various problems facing international society. Based on these, they take IGS subjects from three fields – Culture and Tourism, Peace and Communication, and Environment and Society – in order to acquire the knowledge and skills required for the practice of integrated global studies. This program values the student’s self-initiative in choosing courses: students can either balance the three fields in order to acquire a core of knowledge and skills, or they can focus on subjects based on one field according to their respective goals and interests.

In addition, in this program, students from various nationalities and language backgrounds study together using English as a common language. The classes often employ group discussion and active learning. The students work and learn in English, in collaboration with students from different nationalities, in order to eventually acquire the flexibility and cooperative attitude necessary for working together with people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, an attitude of respect for different cultures, great sensitivity, and the ability to negotiate and express opinions in English.
