Research to develop human beings and regions through symbiosis and collaboration

The Graduate School of Sociology, consisting of the Department of Sociology (Sociology Course and Journalism Course) and the Department of Social Welfare, aims to develop insightful researchers, educators, and advanced professionals who can meet the demands of society through comprehensive education in their respective specialty.

As an open educational and research institution, the Graduate School welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, including international students and working adults, who are admitted through admission processes appropriate for each, and who work together to pursue their research. Experienced professors provide attentive and meticulous research guidance, making the most of the students’ free ideas and research interests. In addition, presentations during the writing process of master’s theses and doctoral dissertations assist students in shaping their research results.

Focusing on the need for each student to face the current state of society, the Graduate School promotes social research education and practical social welfare education.
