Dean's Message

Greetings from the Dean

 

In modern-day Japan, which has become an urban society, our lives can only be supported by a network of policies and institutions stretching across the length and breadth, and by urban systems and social infrastructure built on these networks. These complex social systems are driven by the work and interactions of various actors, including politics, government, corporations, and NPOs. Of course, in our daily lives, we as citizens are also involved in the operation of these social systems in various ways, including as employees, employees, consumers, guardians, and sovereigns. Therefore, in order to solve the problems and issues we face in our daily lives and to lead better lives, it is necessary to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms and forms of these complex social systems. The Graduate School consists of four courses: Urban Policy and Regional Economy, Urban Governance, Urban Business, and Innovative Management of Healthcare and Social Welfare Organizations. From the perspective of each course, the faculty will do their utmost to support you in acquiring the ability to solve your problems through various curricula, including lectures to acquire specialized knowledge and interactive classes that incorporate discussion.
