As we head into a new century, international boundaries are rapidly disappearing with regard to business. The goal of the Faculty of Economics is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for success in the rapidly evolving age of information-based global competition. Also, making the most of today's technology, instructors often incorporate satellite broadcasts into their lectures. In response to the increasingly global nature of business, the Department offers practical courses dealing with international society and the fundamentals of information management.
Students can also study a wide variety of languages.
The Faculty of Economics not only prepares students academically but, due to the University's close proximity to the heart of Tokyo's business district, also allows them to experience firsthand one of the world's most active international economies. The Department offers basic, intermediate and advanced courses focused on the theories and practice of accounting and management. The goal is to help students develop their analytical capabilities and to deepen their understanding of corporate strategies, policies, and behavior in the context of ever-changing economic and social behavior, both in Japan and abroad. General Education and basic business courses are offered in the first year to provide business students with a better understanding of the economic, political, social, and legal environments in which businesses operate. Intermediate and advanced courses are designed so that students are not only exposed to a wide range of subjects dealing with the functions of business management and accounting, but are also structured so that students can participate in seminars focusing on topics of their own choice for two consecutive years.
