About

The Social Development and Administration program from Rikkyo University is designed to equip students with skills and expertise essential for being future leaders in government, international businesses, non-governmental organizations, and international organizations.

Overview

The Master of Social Development and Administration Course (MSDA) of the Graduate Program in Business Administration Network and Social Organization from Rikkyo University offers a curriculum designed to foster highly skilled professionals. MSDA students undertake all courses in an English medium and ultimately produce a Master’s thesis. There is also a double degree program allowing students to earn a degree from both Rikkyo University and an international partner institution at the same time. 

The 30 credits required for completion of the MSDA comprise the following:

  • Required courses: Master’s thesis supervision – 4 credits
  • Elective 1 courses: Foundation courses in social development – 10 credits
  • Elective 2 courses: 16 or more credits

What you'll study

Our coursework curriculum consists of three groups: Required course in which students receive research guidance toward completion of the master’s thesis; Elective 1 course in which students nurture the basic problem-solving approach on subjects including qualitative research methods, philosophy, corporate social responsibilities, organizational theory, social development, research methodology, and human resource development; and Elective 2 courses in which students develop the academic and hands-on expertise on the fields of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), public management, and economics.

In their first year, students take at least five Elective 1 courses related to social design, acquiring foundational knowledge and a capacity for logical thinking. In the second year, they take Elective 2 courses in line with their research interests and complete a Master’s thesis. Through this combination of coursework and thesis writing process, students can acquire expertise in public policy and social design.
