6. Fieldwork and Internship program
A. Purpose

The Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) was established for the purpose
of systematically training international specialists and strengthening the profound
knowledge of international studies. GSIS works to build a basis for interdisciplinary
education and research at the international level and we emphasize both academic
achievement and practical experience. For these reasons, GSIS offers a diversity of
academic and professional opportunities called Fieldwork and Internship programs.
For the purpose of Fieldwork and Internship program we intend to train students who
have a keen sense for and a professional knowledge of the international scene. GSIS
students are expected to spend summer or winter semesters staying at a region or
institutions for practical skills training.

B. Operation
Fieldwork and Internship programs will basically be offered during the summer or
winter semester. The professors of GSIS take charge of the Fieldwork program. After
finishing the program the student evaluation should be based on reports and
participation experience.
And for the Internship program, students earn 3 credits for 8 hours of work a week over
15 weeks and should be approved by an academic advisor.

academic conditions for the GSIS students. The Student Association listens to student
opinions and makes suggestions to the GSIS dean and professors. A student
representative is elected at the end of the first semester, and runs the Student
Association from the second semester until the first semester of the following year. The

9. Courses
! Please be careful with two different usages of * mark

23


a) A course number with * mark behind represents “Required courses.”
- For example, 8751.803* means that “Dissertation Research” is a mandatory course
for all GSIS students to take for program completion
b) A course number with * mark in front represents “Double-titled courses.”
- For example, *8752.516 means that “Workshop in International Cooperation” is
a double-titled course, which has a specific subtitle besides the head title.
In the case that two double-titled courses have a same head title yet different

subtitles,
those courses will be regarded as two different courses.
c) A course marked with the italic font is newly opened for students in Doctorate Program.
