The Graduate School of Nursing established a doctoral program (second term) in April 2020. This subsequently completes a nine-year comprehensive curriculum in higher nursing education, from the bachelor’s program to the doctoral program (first term)* and the doctoral program (second term).
We are working to develop human resources who can play a leading role. In order to do so, the first term of the doctoral program will give the students research abilities based on nursing theory and implementation, as well as nursing practice abilities that integrate evidence and narrative. Subsequently, the second term of the doctoral program gives the students the educational and research abilities that can explore the construction and methods of practical and applicable nursing theory in order to develop human resources who can research nursing phenomena.
We promote research, education, and practical activities amidst the sophistication and diversification of nursing needs, against the backdrop of the rapid decline in birthrate and aging population, and the high-degree of advancement of medical care, as we strive to become a base for lifelong education to develop human resources who can contribute to the development of nursing practice, and the improvement of health and welfare.

*Doctorate Program (First Term): Changed its name from the master’s program in April 2020.
