Master's Degree (International Cultural Studies)

We develop professionals in five areas: language and culture, social systems and policies,management and information science, tourism and environmental science,and human health science.

In our graduate programs we aim to produce professionals who understand cultural diversity, who can conduct research with a high degree of competence, and who possess both the expertise and vision required for solving regional problems either at home or abroad.

Considering the work and study schedules of our domestic and foreign students, we have introduced a semester system allowing for both day and evening graduate courses.

In addition our graduates may obtain a special teacher's certificate for teaching high school English, junior high school English, or high school business.

Areas of Study and Research

Language and Culture, Social Systems and Policies, Management and Information Science, Tourism and Environmental Science, Human Health Science
