Yuko Oguma, Head of the Major in Public Health, Sport and Health Sciences
I was appointed as the Head of the Major in October 2025. In the 2025 academic year, we reached significant milestones: the 20th anniversary of the Graduate School's establishment and the 10th anniversary of the Public Health program. Having walked alongside its development since the early days, it is our pride that our graduates are active in various fields.
This Graduate School collaborates with the Major in Nursing to scientifically study "health" from multiple perspectives. The Major in Public Health, Sport and Health Sciences features three distinctive degree programs: the world-standard "Public Health," "Health Care Management" aiming for efficient medical welfare, and "Sport Management," which leverages collaboration with other university departments such as the Sports Medicine Research Center and the Institute of Physical Education.
Looking toward the next stage of development, the Public Health degree program has fully introduced a system of three "units" based on faculty expertise starting from the 2026 academic year. We have established an environment where each student can acquire knowledge and skills more systematically according to their career vision.
As social issues become increasingly complex, leaders who possess both scientific evidence and management capabilities are in high demand. We sincerely look forward to the enrollment of those who will create new value and forge the future together.
