The Graduate School of International Development
(GSID) has three departments (Department of International Development,
Department of International Cooperation Studies, and Department
of International Communication), each of which is organized
into 5 - 6 disciplinary units. On this organizational basis,
it has carried out education and research in international development,
international cooperation, and international understanding.
However, now in the 21st century, as development issues became
increasingly diverse, multilayered, and interdisciplinary,
GSID must adapt its curriculum to flexibly accommodate these
changes in the field. GSID must also respond to the widespread
call for services to educate both professionals and researchers
in international development and cooperation and international
communication, fields with a strong practical bent. To meet
these needs, GSID introduces new curriculum for Master's Program
this year.
There are two key features of the new curriculum:
1. The Department of International Development (DID) and the
Department of International Cooperation Studies (DICOS) will
integrate their subject offerings to provide an interdisciplinary
development studies course, International Development and Cooperation, with
six specialized programs. Thus, the GSID education will comprise
two courses: International Development and Cooperation, and
International Communication, administered by the Department
of International Communication (DICOM). 2. The two courses
will approach education in the framework of these programs
to meet their respective educational objectives and prospective
graduate profiles. -This course structure will allow students
to address current issues crossing the boundaries of existing disciplinary units.
