In our graduate education, we offer interdisciplinary education courses that aim to enhance education to cultivate a multifaceted perspective that is not bound by the framework of a single graduate school. In addition, with the increase in the number of international students enrolled in graduate schools, there is a growing need for students to have the academic Japanese language skills necessary to carry out their research activities and to design their careers with an eye to what they will do after completing graduate school. In order to meet these needs, CIEE offers four interdisciplinary courses: Academic Reading, Academic Writing, Academic Communication, and Career as “Self-construction” constructed by Japanese Language. These four courses are offered as interdisciplinary education courses (all semester courses). In these courses, we strive to provide opportunities for dialogue and learning that transcend language, culture, and fields of specialization by taking advantage of an environment that attracts international students from various countries and regions, regardless of whether they are science or humanities majors. Levels are equivalent to upper advanced (600 level) to super advanced (700 level).
