Career Paths and Employment
The main career paths for graduates of our graduate school include employment in companies, facilities, and institutions related to nursing, health, medical care, welfare, and public health, as well as advancement to the Ph.D. program for those aspiring to become researchers. A distinctive feature of our graduate school is that it enables students to create new career paths in fields not traditionally anticipated from their undergraduate majors or previous careers. By integrating their prior experience with the foundational and comprehensive knowledge of health management acquired in our program, graduates can, for example, transition from a career in a financial institution to employment in a medical institution or launch a business in a new field.
