Faculty Highlights
Liberal Arts

1.

A liberal arts education lays the foundation for intellectual pursuits and creates a framework forstudents to both contribute to and thrive in society. GIS offers opportunities for students to gain a
deep and wide knowledge of various disciplines, including (but not limited to) the humanities,
social sciences, and management sciences. With this base, students also have the opportunity tofocus on a certain area of interest, developing refined but flexible and innovative thinking.
Interdisciplinary Studies

2.

An interdisciplinary education at GIS moves between and beyond traditional academic fields. It
liberates students from the narrow perspective of any single discipline in understanding complex
issues in the world today. Students also learn how to adopt and synthesize new ideas, while gaining skills in critical thinking and problem solving within a supportive department setting.
A Global Perspective

3.

Recognizing the variety of social and political challenges confronting contemporary society, GIS
seeks to develop a truly global perspective to analyze and engage with the diverse experiences ofan interdependent world. Whether choosing a career path abroad or within the increasingly internationalized environment of Japan, students leave GIS as independently-minded graduates withan understanding of and sensitivity to cultures not their own.

Comment from the Dean
GIS is an educational institution that cultivates future leaders of business and society who have acquired a
global standard through diverse environments, small-class environment, and liberal arts education. GIS helps
students achieve their full potential, including developing their ability to understand and act based on different
cultures and values. In addition, through small-class education, students can have a closer relationship with
their professors and can acquire skills necessary for the future, such as critical thinking and problem-solving
abilities, as well as a wide range of academic knowledge. Furthermore, since graduates are active on the worldstage, they can also expand their global networks.
In April 2023, GIS launched two student support programs, GGLI and GSAS. GGLI is a collaboration between
academia and the business world that supports those who aspire to work for Japanese global companies or foreigncompanies, or who want to become entrepreneurs through connections with people active in the business world.
GSAS is a program that supports students who wish to go to graduate school overseas. While individual professors have been supporting students who wish to study abroad in the past, the program has been specificallydesigned to respond to the increasing number of students who wish to study abroad in recent years.
Why don’t you join us and build a promising future?

Interdisciplinary Curriculum
We offer well-balanced, wide-ranging core courses from the humanities, social sciences, to naturalsciences to allow students to comprehend and create solutions for the social and environmental
challenges that we face.
Field-based and Active Learning Opportunities
In our program, students apply what they learned in the classroom in terms of the knowledge, skills,
and values of these disciplines to our communities and society through hands-on experiences off-campus. These learning opportunities provide students real life exposure to sustainability challenges.
Co-creation Experience3.

One of the key concepts of SCOPE is co-creation, which goes beyond cooperation. Students haveco-creation experiences through SCOPE core curriculum and the field-based and active learningwith fellow SCOPE students, other HOSEI University students, the university faculty members, aswell as those who they meet through Field Workshops.

What SCOPE Offers
The Objective of SCOPE
There is no absolute answer to the questions of what it means to have a sustainable society and how we canachieve it. However, we believe that in order for us to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society, we needto understand the dynamics and perspectives both at the global and local levels. Thus, the objective of SCOPE is
to train students so that they can become glocal (global plus local) citizens, who can lead to the creation of asustainable society with global and local perspectives.
Today, we face increasing challenges to maintain peaceful and prosperous societies, due to numerous factors
including global environmental problems, an ever-growing world population, the globalization of economic activities and consumer behavior, as well as continuous political and religious conflicts in some regions.
Now is the time that we take actions to make a new model to establish a sustainable society. In order to join forces toachieve this goal, it is imperative that students first grasp the structural mechanisms as to how various issues are
related to one another, and then develop solution-oriented thinking skills. SCOPE utilizes experiential learning, research, and service activities that are essential for students to implement practical solutions for a sustainable future.
What We Offer
Through our curriculum, students gain:
1) ability to determine the core of complex issues and to comprehend the actual situations;2) capability to critically analyze social and environmental issues and to seek possible solutions; and3) communication skills to bring together collective efforts of various actors in society through conducting projects and strive for the solution.

include biodiversity and nature conservation, urban planning, agriculture, social diversity and community welfare,international cooperation and energy conservation.

Comment from the Programme Director
What kind of world would you want to live in, and what do you think your role is in realizing this idea? What kindof knowledge and skills do you think you will need?
SCOPE offers a rigorous and supportive environment for students to engage with a number of pressing issues
we face in the twenty-first century, including, but not limited to, issues surrounding environmental concerns,
along with economic and social inequality.
We look forward to welcoming students who seek new and original ways of understanding and addressing thesechallenges to contribute to creating a more sustainable society.
