Graduate School Prospectus
Toyo Eiwa University started its evening Graduate School in 1993 with the
mission of educating and nurturing professionals equipped to engage in
problem-solving in their respective fields. The Graduate School accepts
both male and female students and consists of the Department of Human
Sciences and the Department of International Cooperation. Both
Departments offer a Master's Degree Program, and within the Department
of Human Sciences, a Doctoral Degree Program is offered in a number of
fields.
Faculty and students in the Department of Human Sciences engage in a
broad range of research and educational activities. Technical, multifaceted
and inter-disciplinary research that seeks to respond to contemporary social
needs is carried out, applying developmental, behavioral and spiritual
perspectives in the disciplines of psychology, sociology, social welfare
studies, education, religious studies and thanatology.
The Department of International Cooperation, which prior to 2003 was
called the Department of Social Sciences, is devoted to promoting
education and research into best practices in international cooperation, both
in Japan and internationally. Moreover, the Department focuses on
training individuals with the capacity to work within international
cooperative frameworks at a grass-roots level, as well as with governmental
and international organizations.

Department of Human Sciences
The Department of Human Sciences offers programs in Human Science,Clinical Psychology and Early Childhood Education and Development.
The Program in Human Science focuses on interdisciplinary research in
two areas: education, and thanatology. The relatively new
discipline of thanatology is one of the unique features of this department.
The Program in Clinical Psychology focuses on practical research and
education designed to train professional psychologists and clinical psychologists. The Program in Early
Childhood Education and Development is designed to provide advanced education and
training for early childhood educators. It embodies Toyo Eiwa's
"Reverence and Service."
The Doctoral Degree Program, established in 2002, was initially offered in
the areas of clinical psychology and thanatology. It has subsequently been
expanded to include the fields of human growth and development,
education, and religion. Eleven graduates —eight in the field of thanatology, two in religious and one in clinical psychology studies—have thus far been awarded the Ph.D.
Department of International Cooperation
The world faces challenges that no single country can solve on its own. These challenges include conflict and war, refugee issues, poverty, coexistence with immigrants, and the occurrence of global warming and disasters. The first step in solving these challenges is international cooperation. To think about these challenges, the International Cooperation Department in the Graduate School first teaches social science research methods and academic frameworks. Students then take basic courses such as sustainability studies, and then choose between the International Cooperation for a Sustainable World Program and the International Politics, Economics, and Regional Studies Program to specialize. Regional studies offer a wide range of courses on the Americas, Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Students will choose two options to graduate: M.A. thesis or Core-Review option. Various funding supports are available to qualified students.
