Funded by the Japanese Government, it is the second smallest[1] by enrollment of all the national universities in Japan.

The school offers graduate-level and executive education programs in security and international affairs, diplomacy, international development studies, economics, political science, disaster studies, and science and technology policy, among others. Its current president is Hiroko Ōta, who assumed office in September 2023.[3]
