Faculties and Graduate Schools

　As a postgraduate course for agricultural science（master’s degree）, six specialty fields were created in 1965 against the background of remarkable growth in the Faculty of Agriculture. Since then, new areas of study have been added following further expansion of the Faculty, and through various reorganizations, nine specialty areas related to undergraduate courses and one independent specialty field（International Environmental and Agricultural Science）have been established as is shown in the table below. This new system is fundamentally different from the former one, in which each area of graduate-level research corresponded exactly to a counterpart in the undergraduate-level system. The idea of this new plan is to establish a more flexible system to allow combinations of diverse specialty fields to further broaden education and research. Thus, the goal of the Graduate School of Agriculture is to produce specialists and researchers with a wide range of skills and the ability to apply them for the creation and development of new industries.
