Introduction
International Christian University began over 50 years ago with
our firm commitment to excellence in academic pursuit of truth
not trapped within Japan's domestic framework, but through
the cooperative efforts of its faculty, students and staff
in a truly international, bilingual environment. Furthermore,
students are introduced to the existence of God in life and
society while not proselytizing is the goal. Thus, the Division
of Education in the Graduate School should provide its state-of
the-art knowledge and skills in several specific fields of
educational research and practice. Normally, a period of five
years is required to complete all the requirements for an M.A.
degree and a Ph.D. degree in the Division of Education, with
the first two-year program leading to a master of arts degree
and the second three-year program devoted to complete a Ph.D.
degree. Our M.A. programs consist of two major fields and five
areas of specialization: (a) Principles of Education (Educational
Policy Studies: Philosophy, Comparison and Development, Psychology,
and Clinical Psychology) and (b) Methodology of Education (Media
and Society, English Language Education). Each area of specialization
offers lectures, seminars, and guidance with regard to principles,
research methods and application in order to provide students
with foundation of practice in school education and other educational
fields. Our Ph.D. programs include Principles of Education
(Educational Policy Studies: Philosophy, Comparison and Development,
Psychology and Clinical Psychology), and Methodology of Education
(Media and Society, English Language Education). Two separate
areas of Psychology and Clinical Psychology at the M.A. level
are integrated as one area as Psychology at the doctoral level. |
