About half of the faculties, also, in charge of the Graduate School aiming for sustain-able communities needed in the 21st cen-tury, carry out research and education that synthesizes, fuses and takes a comprehen-sive view of the environments of culture, society and nature.

The Institute consists of two research departments; Science of Creating and Foundations of Science, with each subdi-vided into three disciplines.A l l the facult ies of the Inst i tute a lso belong to the Faculty of Integrated Arts and Sciences, teaching not only the sub-jects of the Faculty but also those of the University's General Education curriculum. One of the characteristics of the Institute is that the faculties of various fields in humanities and sciences conduct research and education in a broader and deeper manner.

The Graduate School was reorganized in 2009 for the purpose of further substan-tiation of "Integrated Sciences of Commu-nity Development Studies" in response to the "integration of intellect" required by large-scale social changes.The Master 's program is comprised of Regional Sciences (Community Develop-ment Studies, Environmental Symbiosis Studies and Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences) and Clinical Psychology while the Doctorate program pursues the disci-pline of Regional Science.Regional Science promotes research and education with emphasis on interdisciplin-ary and comprehensiveness which thereby tries to produce experts capable of work-ing actively on "city designing" or "com-munity designing." Clinical Psychology, on the o the r hand , a ims to p roduce experts capable of contributing to the solutions of psychological problems in cooperation with the field of Regional Science.

Master’s CourseRegional Sciences The Master’s Course of Regional Sciences offers interdiscipl inary studies in the development of a "community that can co-exist with the environment" in order to construct a sustainable symbiotic society, which is an expectation of our society in the 21st century.

Community Development StudiesThe goal of the Community Development Studies is to prepare graduate students to be generalist-type leaders capable of pro-posing policies from multidimensional viewpoints to construct sustainable soci-ety. This program offers classes for culti-vating practical capacities for policy pro-posal, and classes for improving informa-tion processing capacity.

Environmental Symbiosis StudiesEnvironmental Symbiosis Studies offers studies on various problems in the com-munity on the basis of Life Science, Chem-istry, Environmental Economics, Environ-mental Politics, and Bio-resource Science in order to construct and develop a sus-tainable symbiotic society.

Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences (the Humanities Course)Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences (the Humanities Course) offers basic studies in Law, Economics, English and American Literature, Foreign Languages, Compara-tive Culture, and Philosophy. In order to foster and promote the local region this course provides a grounding in local law, economics and local culture.

Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences(Integrated Natural, Computer and Ma-terial Sciences)This course consists of the practical appli-cation of natural sciences in investigating and solving problems in regional sciences.● Mathematics and Computer Science● Physics and Material Science● Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry● Earth Science Clinical Psychology The goal of the Clinical Psychology Studies is for students to become capable of pro-viding psychological care for people who have mental problems in the community. The Clinical Psychology Studies offers classes focused on both the theory and practice of clinical psychology. Various c l a s ses a re o f fe red in Psycho log ica l Assessments, Psychotherapy, Psychological Community Interventions, and Methods of Psychology, from the viewpoint of Clinical Psychology. Doctoral CourseRegional Science The Doctoral Course of Regional Science offers creative and advanced research in the new field known as "Regional Develop-ment" , in the Department of Regional Sciences.

Comparative Studies in Society and CultureThe Comparative Culture course provides students with a rich opportunity to specialize in Asian or Occidental societies and cultures through the fields of language, literature, history, and thought.Course studies include research regarding one, two, or more countries from various perspectives.

Psychology and Health Studies The goal of Psychology and Health Studies is to prepare students in becoming capable of responding to society’s health problems through a multidimensional approach. This course offers classes focused on psychology and sports sciences. In psychology-related classes, focus is placed on mental operations and the dynamics of human relationships at levels of individual, group and society. Sport science classes are offered to provide a better understanding of health and physical fitness from the viewpoint of basic physiology and sociology.

The Faculty searches for effective solutions of contemporary issues by analyzing natural and social phenomena from various per-spectives not restricting itself to traditional disciplinary divisions of human, social and natural sciences. Needed for that search is not a mere collection of frag-mentary pieces of knowledge but the concentration and integra-tion of knowledge from relevant fields.The educational program of the Faculty emphasizes the necessity

of comprehensiveness through-faculty- or department-common subjects and, as the academic years progress, introduces ana-lytical methods of specialties by providing students with courses of specialties to choose from in the second year. This deepening of specialties in broad perspec-tives will equip students with both comprehensiveness and specialty in their disciplines.

Department of Civil and Environment Studies

Public Policy StudiesThis course has four divisions of social sciences: Legal Science, Politics, Economics, and Business Administration. Students are expected to learn basic knowl-edge of these disciplines and to improve their abilities of consid-ering policy-oriented solutions regarding a variety of socilal problems from the international dimension to local dimension.

Faculty of Integrated Arts and SciencesCommunitical and Regional StudiesRegional communities are now facing vari-ous p rob lems in the g loba l i zed age : hollowing-out of domestic industry; widen-ing of economic disparities; rapid aging of the population resulting from the decline in the birthrate; transubstantiated communi-ties; and problems in the information tech-nology age.The aim of Communitical and Regional Stud-ies Course is cultivating students who try to improve and resolve these serious problems with creative ideas and accurate judgments. We consider that the integrated academic knowledge of Humanities and Sciences including information technology skills is indispensable for accomplishing our goals - community renovation and regional devel-opment.

Symbiotic Environmental StudiesOnly by living in harmony with the natural environment in a give and take relation, it is possible for human beings to develop their own life. In the 21st century, society requires talented persons who have a multiple knowl-edge of the earth ecosystems. The course offers basic training in wide areas of biology and chemistry from molecules to systematic levels, allowing the students to have their knowledge and ability in major of biological and environmental sciences.

Department of Mathematical and Material Sciences

Mathematics and Computer Science Studies The undergraduate program in this course focuses on the interface between pure math-ematics and theoretical computer science.　The mathematical side concentrates on areas where computers are used, or which are relevant to computer science, namely alge-bra, analysis, statistics, etc. The computer science side includes computational com-plexity and graph theory.

Integrated Material Science StudiesThe keywords of this course are "nature and matter". This course covers three fields: Physics, Chemistry and Earth Science. The course provides fundamental training in each specialty and cultivates a broad view of natural sciences.

School of NutritionIn view of the importance of nutrition in promoting health, the former Japanese Min-istry of Education and Ministry of Health decided to establish a center for education and research in nutrition science in the national university system. The University of Tokushima was chosen to be the site of the new School of Nutrition in 1964. Since then, the School has boasted many leading nutri-tion scientists as well as practicing nutrition-ists. The School is now recognized as the leading institution in nutritional science in Japan.The School of Nutrition admits 50 under-graduate students annually and offers a 4-year education program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. Under the "diet and nutrit ion teacher system" put into effect by the government and with an additoinal curriculum approved in 2006 by the Ministry of Education, Cul-ture, Sports, Science and Technology, it can also offer students a Class I License to be a Diet and Nutrition Teacher in the primary and junior high schools.The School has 7 departments with special-ties ranging from molecular nutrition to clinical and public health nutrition. Students receive training in clinical nutrition in asso-ciation with the University Hospital.

School of MedicineTokushima Prefectural Medical College, fore-runner of the University of Tokushima School of Medicine, was established in 1943 in answer to a crying need for more doctors on the island of Shikoku. In accordance with extensive reforms of the Japanese educa-tional system after the Second World War, the College was incorporated into the newly established University of Tokushima as the School of Medicine in 1949. Since then, the School has developed steadily to provide excellence and leadership in medical educa-tion, research and service. This movement has been community-oriented and directed to needy areas. The School was the only medical school in Shikoku until 1973.The School of Medicine admits 114 under-graduate students annually and offers 6-year education program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. The curricu-lum covers a wide area of basic and clinical medicine in addition to the university-wide programs of general education. The clinical training is supported by the 696-bed Tokushima University Hospital which is equipped with modern facilities for diagno-sis and treatment.

The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of Tokushima was founded in 1922 originally as the Department of Pharmaceuti-cal Technochemistry of the Tokushima Higher Technical School originated. Dr. Nagayoshi Nagai, a native of Tokushima who is world-famous for the discovery of “Ephedrine”, said that one of the directions that pharmaceutical sciences in Japan should take is “innovative creation of new drugs.” in an inauguration address as the first president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan. In order to achieve this objective, Dr. Nagai helped to found Dainippon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (now Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd.), as a pharmaceutical company for implementation of national policy, and the Department of Pharmaceutical Technochem-istry of the Tokushima Higher Technical School as a suitable educational institution.

With such a history, the Faculty of Pharma-ceutical Sciences has pursued education and research from the special perspective of drug discovery based on a tradition as Japan's only national university pharmaceutical sciences department originating with an engineering background, and boasts a large roster of alumni who have distinguished themselves in industry, academia, and government. This tradition continues to this day with the establishment in 1992 of the Institute for Medicinal Research attached to the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. And our department including the Institute for Medicinal Research, Medicinal Herb Garden and Naruto Marine Research Station have continued to perform unique research and education activities for drug discovery.
