Department of Business
Building on the four cornerstones of business, you will develop a deep understanding of the industry and acquire practical skills for on-the-ground success.
In the Department of Business, the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the business world—management, commerce, accounting, and economics—are placed at the "Core" of the curriculum, building a foundation for a wide range of career paths. Around that core, learning is organized into three further components: "Global," where you acquire an understanding of international business and English communication skills; "Crossover," where you freely combine courses to deepen your own specialization; and "Active," practical learning carried out in partnership with companies and organizations. Through these four components, we cultivate business professionals who can become immediate assets in the workforce, excelling in both intellectual ability and proactivity.

Learning that Turns Experience into Understanding
Planning a New Sauna Business from a Gen Z Perspective
[Course] Social Collaboration Challenge B
Students ran a project to plan a new sauna business from a perspective unique to Generation Z. Teaming up with Artistry Inc., they dissected today’s sauna boom and devised “ways of enjoying a sauna that have never existed before” — ideas designed to reach even people unfamiliar with saunas. At a sauna event held in a department store, visitors voted via QR code, giving the students candid, real-world feedback.
Product Development and Promotion Aimed at Young Consumers
[Course] Seminar
Working with Nakamo Co., Ltd., known for its “Tsukete Miso Kakete Miso” seasoning, students carry out product development and propose new ideas. They took part in a food event that they themselves had proposed as an “idea for making miso familiar and popular among young people,” presenting two kinds of miso-flavored chicken wings of their own devising. The project sharpened the diverse skills demanded on the business front line, including analysis, proposal-making, and communication.
A Company Visit and Q&A Session with Employees for Corporate Analysis
[Course] Corporate Analysis Challenge C
To carry out a corporate analysis of Ishizuka Glass Co., Ltd., students toured the company and its factory, then held a question-and-answer session with employees. They were able to hear the company’s own view of its current and future share price, gaining valuable information for their analysis.
