Welcome to the Public Management and Policy Analysis Program at the International University of Japan, the first professional graduate school in Japan!
The Public Management and Policy Analysis Program (PMPP), a new two-year MA program in the Graduate School of International Relations (GSIR), meets the needs of “good governance” in public sectors, which is required to implement and evaluate policies for diverse public problems. The PMPP trains leaders in issues such as environmental damage, public health, education, national and regional development, welfare reform, and international security. We strongly believe that study in the PMPP can be the best solution for working professionals in various public sectors, like state and local governments, international institutions, NGOs, and public enterprises.
The PMPP stays a step ahead of changes in education and research of public management and policy analysis as one of the first public management programs in Japan to stress the importance of scientific concepts. Our program offers a dynamic environment including a challenging, skill-based curriculum and a diverse student body with much emphasis on analytic and quantitative tools, as well as descriptive methods, in the fields of management, economics, public administration, political science, law, operations research, finance, information technology, and accounting. Such an interdisciplinary approach makes it possible for the PMPP to provide students with a solid educational background in critical thinking. This makes the PMPP an exceptional program, very attractive to those who are looking to advance their careers or start new careers in public sectors.
Over the years, the GSIR’s other three programs (IDP, IRP, and IPSP) and the management programs in the GSIM have earned a significant reputation for public and private professionals with well-grounded analytical and descriptive skills, particularly in many developing and emerging countries. The close interrelation between the PMPP and the other programs within IUJ can broaden and enhance your understanding of public management and policy analysis, as well as encourage students to find new perspectives on public policies.
