The Graduate School of Humanities, which is administered by the Faculty of Humanities, offers a total of seven programs: History, Japanese Language and Literature, English Language and Literature, German Language and Literature, French Language and Literature, Socio-Cultural Studies, and Education and Clinical Psychology. All of these programs have a master's degree program, and with the exception of Socio-Cultural Studies, they also include a doctoral program.
The Graduate School offers an educational experience that is designed to foster the development of educators, researchers, and professionals with a free but critical spirit and a broad outlook, as well as members of the mass media, civil servants, and other professionals, by embracing and extending the methodology of the humanities, which encompass humans and human society. All programs adopt the same fine-grained approach to instruction, in which faculty members and graduate students interact in a one-on-one setting, in order to further deepen what students learned as undergraduates while fostering sure judgment, critical ability, and information-gathering skills based on advanced knowledge.
