I, Prof. Otsubo, task managed and designed GSID's new academic programs during the academic years of 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. Starting in April 2006, we use this brand-new academic schemes. International Development & Cooperation Course consists of 6 Professional Programs (Economic Development Policy & Management, Rural and Regional Development, Educational and Human Resource Development, Governance and Law, Peacebuilding, Social Development and Culture). A Student should select one program as his/her Major. Students can also designate other programs as Minor field. Upon satisfaction of degree/program requirements, GSID will confer MA or Ph.D. in International Development （国際開発学修士、国際開発学博士） AND Certificates for Major and Minor Fields.
Members of Otsubo seminar should designate Economic Development Policy & Management (EDP&M) Program as their Major. Members are then encouraged to obtain at least one Minor Certificate for one of the other 5 programs.
Visit "Registration Guide: Grand Design for International Development & Cooperation Course" corner of GSID's homepage for the grand design of our educational program.
Visit "Registration Guide: Economic Development Policy & Management Program" corner of this homepage for selecting courses.
These 'Registration Guides' are available both in English and Japanese.
For registration of courses under this new scheme, you should consult well with me in advance in order for you to make the most of this new academic scheme.

GSID Development Consulting Group
|
2004.7.1
Prof. Otsubo established a Development Consulting Group "Development Frontiers" in GSID.
|
Fostering the sound development of communities, regions, and countries in developing countries is a pressing task and Japan should take a leading role in achieving this goal. The Graduate School of International Development (GSID)'s mission is to contribute to this task by providing advanced academic research, human resources, and consulting services for both domestic and international/overseas development communities.
With a comprehensive reform among National University System in Japan that took place in April 2004 (national universities are now incorporated), GSID took an initiative of institutionalizing our involvement in development cooperation by establishing a development consulting group "Development Frontiers".
"Development Frontiers" is a development consulting group composed of the faculty members of GSID with various development expertise ranging from economic development, rural/regional/community development, and educational development to gender & development. (Member List)
Members of the "Development Frontiers" are making strenuous efforts in search of sustainable development and poverty reduction in the Developing World.
