The Graduate School of Nursing pursues the theories and practice of nursing. We foster the development of the high-quality nurse practitioners needed by society amid advancing decline in childbirth rates and population aging, and train excellent nursing educators and researchers capable of actively responding to the needs of society. Furthermore, the school promotes cutting-edge research on community health, medical care, and welfare disciplines in compliance with current medical care. The education and research organization is comprised of the Health Support Nursing and Care System Nursing disciplines, and the Center Department (e.g., the Nursing Information Center). In the future, the Center Division plans to open the nursing research promotion center and various other centers to support the field of nursing, and has established a system able to support the academic pursuits of graduate school students in multiple ways. In addition, as there are many students who engage in studies while also working in clinical fields or academic institutions, we have established a structure to support those students as well, including evening classes and distance learning.
