Departments

The Graduate School of Humanities consists of two departments: International Studies and Sociology. In the rapidly changing world, exposed to the effects of globalization and technological innovation, the challenge for the humanities is to explore the changing nature of humanity in relation to culture, society, and mind.
The mission of the Graduate School of Humanities is to attend to the academic task of explicating the nature of the humanities. We welcome students from around the world and encourage each one to pose questions and make use of the Graduate School of Humanities as a site for pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
