The Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, an independent graduate school not linked to a faculty, aims to develop

1. graduates who have acquired the ability to approach environmental issues not from a single academic discipline, but from a broad range of disciplines that transcends the boundaries of the humanities and sciences
2. Graduates who have developed the habit of acquiring knowledge independently and without bias and can take note of it with their own hands
3. A graduate who has acquired the ability to identify the main, essential things at a glance despite the chaos of intricate events, or a good eye for observation.
4. graduates who have acquired the ability to adapt to various social environments

The Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies has concluded a cooperative agreement with Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology allowing students to take lectures and receive research guidance from each other’s faculty. Courses taken will be recognized as credits.
The program also has a cooperative agreement with the National Institute for Environmental Studies, where students can receive research guidance for their master’s thesis from leading researchers in the environmental field.
