In order to cultivate high level professionals in the field of ITWith the advancements in science and technology, remarkable technological innovations, and radical socioeconomic changes (diversification, increasing complexity, increasing sophistication, globalization, and the arrival of the age of ubiquitous computing, etc.) of recent years, expectations for the education of high level IT professionals viable both in society and internationally are rapidly increasing.In the field of IT, however, which spans such specialty fields as information and management, the number of colleges and graduate schools able to meet the challenges of cultivating high level IT system professionals has been virtually zero until now.In order to break out of this situation, The Kyoto College of Graduate Studies for Informatics (KCGI) was established in April 2004 as Japan's first and only IT professional graduate school.KCGI inherits the traditions and achievements of Japan's first computer educational institution, Kyoto Computer Gakuin, which has trained information processing engineers to meet the needs of industry for over 50 years.KCGI also implements internationally cutting-edge IT curriculums based on a global education network with universities from around the world, including the Rochester Institute of Technology.Further, KCGI's curriculum also takes into consideration management and administration education; KCGI cultivates top leaders in fields of applying IT such as high level IT professionals and especially CIOs (chief information officers), positions for which it is difficult to receive the proper education for at traditional research-oriented graduate schools.
