What is SCOPE?

Sustainability Co-creation Programme, SCOPE, is a degree program offered in English in the Faculty of Sustainability Studies at Hosei University. It is a newly established program, started in Fall 2016. SCOPE’s objectives are to develop glocal (global plus local) citizens who could contribute in the realization of a more sustainable society. In this modern world, we face increasing challenges to maintain peaceful and prosperous societies, deriving from a number of factors such as global environmental problems, an ever growing world population, globalization of economic activities and consumer behavior, as well as continuous political and religious conflicts in some regions. Now is the time we take actions to make a new model to establish a sustainable society. In order to join forces to achieve this goal, it is imperative that students first grasp the whole structure as to how such issues are related to each other, and develop solution-oriented thinking skills. SCOPE utilizes experiential learning, research, and service activities to implement practical solutions for a sustainable future.
