Integrative Evolutionary Science
Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science
Overview
Integrative Evolutionary Science is a new academic field that aims not only for the development of biology but also for elucidating the nature of human beings and solving social issues, through a comprehensive understanding of the change of living organisms, transition of human activities, and progression of global issues from an evolutionary perspective. The Integrative Evolutionary Science Program, in collaboration with the Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, aims to pursue and share truths with society, produce future leaders in this field, and to contribute broadly to the development of science and society. Students in this program will conduct their studies and research activities at the Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, located in Hayama, Kanagawa Prefecture.
This program consists of two programs: a five-year doctoral program for students with a bachelor's degree and a three-year doctoral program for students with a master's degree.
