Graduate School of Information Systems
The research focus of this graduate school covers a broad range of research in the design, building, administration and evaluation of information systems as well as their relationship to humans and society. This independent graduate school was founded in April 1992 as an education and research organization to cultivate talented individuals specializing in the study of information systems.
Since the school's founding, the dramatic development of computers and networks has pushed information systems into every corner of our daily lives, and they have become vital to all social activities. As a result, in April of 2007, the Graduate School of Information Systems was reorganized into four departments in response to the changing times and demands. The graduate school's goals are to achieve new developments in the study of information systems, with a particular emphasis on enriching education and research fields related to humans and society and information systems, and to cultivate IT leaders and advanced IT engineers and researchers.
