Along with changes to the educational system, including introduction of recommendation-based entrance examinations and the shift to a four-quarter academic year, Takeshi Tange, Ph.D. we are also making changes to our educational content, Dean of the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences and Faculty of Agriculture such as improving the first-year curriculum. The Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences provides new students with opportunities for hands-on learning through a network connecting classrooms and field sites such as forests, rice paddies, fields, and pastures managed by affiliated facilities. The Faculty of Agriculture structures courses and specialized programs so that students learn Our lives are dependent on organic matter produced agricultural science systematically step-by-step, with the by plants through photosynthesis.
