Early registration system for Graduate School courses (for fourth-year undergraduate students)

overview

This system is aimed at fourth-year undergraduate students with excellent grades who have a strong interest in continuing on to graduate school at our Graduate School, and allows them to take specific courses (Lecture courses) offered in Graduate School master's program as Part-time Students.
The number of Credit that can be taken is within the range set by each research school (10 Credit for Graduate School of Asian and International Business Strategy, 8 Credit for Graduate School of Law).
However, students will not be allowed to take courses that are not being taken by regular Graduate School students. If students pass a course they have taken, the required Credit will be recognized and a certificate will be issued.
If you advance to the Graduate School, your research will be recognized as having been completed after review by the graduate school committee.
