Teaching students to identify and solve problems independently through small classes linking theory and practice



Real-world economies and societies do not operate according to theory. The Department of Business Administration thus offers a well-balanced and systematic course of study in three fields—business administration, marketing (commerce), and accounting—with a view to future involvement in corporate management. In particular, to support the personal growth of working professionals capable of independently discovering and solving problems, we emphasize small-group discussions and classes that build bridges between academic theory and corporate practice. We hope our students will become sensible businesspersons, maintaining high aspirations and contributing to society through business.

Key Features of the Department of Business Administration


Point 01
The international perspective needed to succeed in the globalized world of economics and business

Relationships with people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds are becoming increasingly important, even within the domestic business context. Through study in adjacent realms, students acquire a broad outlook that enables them to understand social diversity.


Point 02
Improving communication skills

As our students progress in their studies, they have opportunities to engage in discussions and group work to progressively improve the interpersonal, expressive, and writing skills they will require as businesspeople.


Point 03
Courses to assist in preparing for professional qualification examinations

The faculty offers extracurricular courses to help students pass professional qualification examinations. The courses offered prepare students for the JCCI Bookkeeping 3rd and 2nd Grade, Financial Planning 3rd and 2nd Grade, and Secretarial Skills Test 2nd and pre-1st Grade examinations.


Point 04
Support measures unique to the department and workshops to assist in finding employment

Aside from the support provided to all students by the university’s Career Center, students of the Department of Business Administration can take advantage of the Department’s own extracurricular guidance program. This program incorporates lectures by external speakers with experience of working for the personnel, hiring, and training departments of major corporations, as well as mock interviews and guidance in promoting oneself to prospective employers.



Program Structure

After building a solid foundation in the business administration, marketing, accounting, economics and law in their first years, students focus on key subjects in small classes that emphasize active participation in their second year. From the third year, students delve into a specialized subject in seminars of approximately ten people, and take courses in advanced applied subjects. Drawing on this incrementally accumulated, systematic knowledge, as well as on their ability to identify and analyze problems and express themselves, students decide on a career path at an early stage.




Topics

Workshop 1

Small-group classes begin in April of the first year and provide students with the skills they will need to study business administration, accounting, and marketing. These include group work, presentations, and discussions, with the goal of acquiring basic skills such as finding and reading research literature, collecting and analyzing information, and writing texts.

Marketing Research

Through classes emphasizing practical exercises, students wishing to professionally and practically study marketing will learn about marketing research processes, data collection, and data analysis. In marketing, research is how we examine marketplaces. Our aim is to develop the skills required to perform marketing research successfully.
