Our goal is to educate professional business elites
who can contribute to corporate activity.
What to learn
What is required of business elites? This is where we begin.
What is required of business elites? This is where we begin.
The educational objective of our Department is to educate future business elites. Today, competition and the speed of change have become so severe that they cannot be compared with how things used to be.
To survive in today’s business world requires an ability to instantly make correct decisions. Only those who can instantly select what is necessary from among a vast amount of information, analyze and organize them according to theory, and draw conclusions, will survive as true business elites.
Contributing to society as a business elite through corporate activity.
In order for a company to survive in today's harsh business environment, the company must not only pursue its own profit but must also fulfill various social responsibilities, such as manufacturing products without putting a strain on the global environment, offering consumers superior yet inexpensive goods and services, and striving for a harmonious relationship with local communities, etc. To achieve these mutually contradicting objectives in a well-balanced manner, one must acquire flexibility to adapt quickly, as well as possess expert knowledge. Contributing to society through corporate activity with flexible ideas and a great wealth of knowledge, is the way of life of the true business elite.
To educate the business elite.
To enable students to learn these abilities in four years, we have tailored a curriculum with two objectives in mind: 1) Acquiring specialization as the scholarship and 2) Developing the ability to grasp the specialization transversely (across the boundaries of different disciplines). In other words, we have put together a curriculum for you to acquire expert abilities and flexibility to adapt quickly, which will allow you to adapt to the changing times.
In addition to the field study, the Department of Economics offers the following two courses for students to become aware that they are members of society, by actually participating in the society. The objectives of these courses are to teach students to acquire proficiency in communication, co-operation, the ability for self-management, the ability to take the initiative and leadership, adaptability, positive self-esteem, the ability to understand and analyze social issues, the ability to communicate ideas logically to others, and the ability to resolve issues independently.
Three departments to enable students to acquire expert abilities naturally.
In order for students to learn the specialization as scholarship learning, three “programs” are offered; these are: “business management,” which is necessary to see the future and direction of company as a whole; “commercial science,” which studies the flow of goods and services produced by a company; and “accounting,” which studies the flow of funds generated by these activities. These three “programs” are traditional programs that have been offered continuously for over 40 years, since the establishment of the Faculty of Economics. The courses in the programs are strategically arranged to enable students to naturally acquire a specialization useful in the real world of business.
Learning system
Students will start with learning skills, then move on to economics, step-by-step.
Once admitted, students will first prepare to learn specialized subjects at an institution of higher learning called university. Rather than immediately taking highly specialized lectures, the first step is to learn the basic knowledge needed to help understand the specialized courses. Students will acquire important skills in learning business administration, such as information (Excel), statistics, bookkeeping, law, and economy.
Two-stage structure consisting of basic course group A and applied course group B to master business administration.
We have adopted a two-stage structure comprising course group A, in which students will learn theoretical basics, and course group B, in which they will learn to apply the basics to ensure that they can systematically master the specialization in business administration, commercial science, and accounting departments. Students will absorb basic specialized knowledge from course group A, and develop the abilities to apply this knowledge in course group B. The curriculum, which allows future business elites to master business administration as their own, is our proposal.
Course group B is featured by the keyword “information.”
Course group B includes lecture courses, and develops the ability to apply the basic knowledge acquired in course group A. We offer “information,” “globalization,” and “environment,” as the keywords when reliably acquiring the ability to apply and nurture perspectives to grasp the three departments transversely (across the boundaries of different disciplines), rather than randomly listing the applied courses. These keywords are important perspectives when investigating modern business. Please keep these keywords in mind when taking courses transversely in business administration, commercial science, or accounting, and acquire the ability to adapt quickly and the ability to apply what you learn.
We support those who strive to become licensed tax accountants and certified public accountants.
We offer an “accelerated, special accounting course” for students who intend to become accounting professionals, such as “licensed tax accountants” and “certified public accountants.” A “licensed tax accountant” and a “certified public accountant” are said to be such difficult qualifications that one must attend two schools separately in order to pass these examinations. We fully support those who strive to obtain such difficult certifications and to become the best of the best, with lectures and qualification-obtaining support courses. You can realize your dream to obtain these certifications without waste and strain by appropriately combining the lecture courses of the accounting department and qualification-obtaining support courses, which complement these courses.
Reach for your dream. Advance training for internship.
An internship allows you to experience working at companies and for local governments, depending on your major and future directions while you are studying at the university. Internship aims at increasing interest in economics by touching corporate management and experiencing work in the real world.
The Department offers a preparatory training for internship. Students will learn such skills as listening, speaking, information collection and analyzing, skills that will enable them to contribute, even in a small way to corporate management during their work experience.
How to learn
Curriculum unique to our Department
1. Course structure with clear objectives
The Department offers basic courses, which solidify the basics, course group A which enhances specialization, course group B, which covers both specialization and flexibility to adapt quickly, and course group C, which includes other courses.
Basic courses are learned in the first year. Courses which cover the basics of specialization include those that teach statistical knowledge and bookkeeping training. Courses which teach the basics of flexibility to adapt quickly, core elements include introduction to economics, which studies overall economy, and introduction to business administration, which takes a general view of the real world of business while handling current issues.
Course group A, which enhances specialization, includes main courses of business administration, commercial science, and accounting “department.” Course group B is arranged with more practical courses in each of the “departments.”
2. Matrix structure that fuses specialization and core elements
One of the characteristics of our Department is that course group A, which emphasizes basics, and course group B, which focuses on flexibility to adapt quickly, core elements and application, are structured in two stages, as explained in the following page. For example, studying courses in course group B of the business administration department, after taking the business administration courses in course group A will facilitate a broader understanding of practical, applied “business administration.”
Take advantage of the two-stage structure to master specialization suitable to your goal and flexibility to adapt quickly, core elements.
3. Our faculty will help students step up from the basics to application.
After learning the basic skills in the basic courses and completing the basic courses from course group A, students will move on to the courses offered in course group B, specialized education in a true sense. Courses from course group B will require students to learn a wealth of knowledge and come up with flexible ideas based on this knowledge. Our faculty members will help students on an individual basis to step-up from the basics to the application, in the form of “basic exercise.” In this “basic exercise,” students will learn the ability to find and resolve problems on their own and learn to change their way of thinking.
4. Exercise as the compilation of the studies
Compilation of the university education is also exercise. Students will select exercises depending on their own interests, and proceed with research corresponding to the expertise of their instructors. Writing the graduation thesis will be an indelible memory.
5. Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees may be obtained together in five years, using the system of grade skipping
Today, companies are searching for people with a high level of specialized knowledge acquired at graduate schools. In response to such societal changes, the Department has implemented the “system of grade skipping" for excellent students to advance to the graduate school in their fourth year to learn a more profound and higher level of specialized knowledge. Obtaining both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in five years is not a dream, but a possibility.
