Be a Changemaker: for communities, for economies, and for global peace and development

The Global Studies program features a unique all-English social science curriculum. You'll not only engage with global issues; you'll apply what you've learned to help solve real-world problems. In class, students learn interactively, with group discussions and other collaborative activities with fellow students from around the world. You'll choose a study area, such as Sustainability and International Cooperation, Global Business and Economics, and Digital Transformation and Change Leadership, which you'll explore through courses and intensive seminars. Mastery of multiple languages and digital technology will further your development as Changemakers, and you'll engage with communities in Japan and overseas to strengthen efforts to achieve sustainable development and global peace.
