Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environment Studies(Master’s Course), Kanazawa University

1 About the Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environmental
Studies (Master's Program)
The Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environmental Studies was established in April 2006.
The purpose of the Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environmental Studies is to meet the needs
for comprehensive research and education based on the knowledge of existing specialized fields(humanities and economics) and interdisciplinary fields (regional development studies and international
studies) encompassed by the concept of "environment" in response to the rapid progress ofglobalization, information networking, and aging society with fewer children. The Graduate School of
Human and Socio-Environmental Studies also fosters professionals who understand and have themeans to solve various problems facing contemporary society and people.
Through the education it provides, the Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environmental Studies
has three goals. The first goal is to nurture advanced professionals who have acquired specialized
knowledge, methods, and techniques, and who have the ability to formulate policies and solve
problems, and to nurture human resources who can contribute to the development of their countries
and international exchange. This corresponds to the diverse needs of society for graduate education.
The second goal is the formation of an education and research center for human socio-environmental
studies. This means establishing and developing interdisciplinary and comprehensive humanities andsocial sciences research as a pioneer not only in the Hokuriku region but also throughout Japan. And
the third goal is to contribute to the regional and international community through education andresearch, and to return the results of education and research at the graduate level to society at home
and abroad by actively promoting the acceptance of working students and international students.
The following shows the organization of divisions, courses, and programs, and the degrees to be
conferred. Our goal is to create new knowledge that can accurately address contemporary issues,
while continuing the existing fields of study.
