Department of Business Administration

Nurturing individuals who can think and act for themselves, we provide well-balanced study of management, marketing, and accounting.

In the Department of Business Administration, our aim is to develop the individuals who will manage the companies of tomorrow. In the management field students polish their practical abilities and insight concerning corporate activities. In the accounting field they develop the ability to grasp corporate activities through the movement of money. In the commercial science field they learn how to plan, prepare, and execute corporate marketing strategy. Through seminars and courses in adjacent disciplines, students acquire the ability to grasp individual specialties from a broad cross-sectional perspective. We develop individuals who are interested in how companies work and what they do and who have acquired both logical thinking skills and practical application skills.

Curriculum overview

Our curriculum is configured for a smooth progression from fundamentals to practical application in the well-balanced study of the three fields of management, marketing, and accounting.

In the first year, students take a group of introductory courses—such as introduction to management, introduction to marketing, and introduction to accounting—to build a foundation in business administration. Then, in a transition to more specialized areas, from a selection of basic theory courses (core course group) students study subjects such as management principles, management organizational theory, marketing, market systems, financial accounting theory, and management accounting theory. In the second and third years, from a selection of practical application and development courses, students deepen their understanding of various fields through the study of business history, information networks, consumer behavior, securities, finance, cost accounting, tax accounting, etc. In addition, from the first year onward, there are small-class practical training courses available, and students are able to attend lectures given in an interactive and participatory format.

Students looking to become certified public accountants or licensed tax accountants can also take advantage of the qualification-acquisition support courses offered, and work experience can be acquired through corporate and government internships. For students looking to advance to graduate school to pursue even more specialized and practical study, there is a system of grade skipping for early admission.
