In 2008, the University of Tokyo launched a new International Master’s/Doctoral Degree Program: Information, Technology, and Society in Asia (ITASIA) at the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies (GSII). This program offers intensive graduate-level education designed to foster analytical strength and insight into Asian societies at a time when information and communication technology is having an increasingly profound impact on the region.

The program is tailored to both international and Japanese students who are motivated to pursue active professional careers on the regional and global stages. All instruction is in English, so proficiency in Japanese is not a prerequisite. Classes are small, with around 8 Ph.D. and 12 M.A.S. students admitted each year. Unlike the conventional Japanese academic calendar, the ITASIA Program commences in the fall.

Admissions decisions are based on a written application requiring TOEFL and GRE scores. Applications are due in early December for admission in October of the following year.
