The Global Program in Economics and Management (GPEM) is exclusively taught in English, and was developed as part of the Future Global Leadership Program conducted by Tohoku University. GPEM offers high quality learning and research opportunities for students who aspire to take on key international leadership roles in the areas of economics and management. GPEM widely welcomes applicants with such aspirations and excellent English ability, providing they have completed or expect to complete a master’s program. The degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Economics or Management is conferred upon completion of the program. The International Environmental Leadership Program (henceforth referred to as "IELP") at Tohoku University Graduate School of Environmental Studies provides a trans-disciplinary education, combining the humanities and sciences with instructors from the Department of Environmental Studies for Advanced Society and the Department of Frontier Sciences for Advanced Environment. It is through this context that the program educates both Japanese and foreign exchange students side by side, making use of maximized synergy among participants from multiple countries and placing high emphasis on specialized research in environmental fields. IELP fosters a comprehensive way of thinking that is crucial for international environmental leaders. The program seeks to equip students with a sense of internationalism, practical know-how, management capability, and the individual leadership and group-minded orientations inherent in strategic planning.
