Overview of Graduate Schools

Graduate School of Business Administration and Economics

The Graduate School of Business Administration and Economics at Otemon Gakuin University aims to create new values by promoting the integration of academic intelligence with practical intelligence, thereby fostering new business ideas that can contribute to the public good by identifying changes in society and people's needs.

Education at graduate schools must answer the demands and the changes in society. Management of businesses is not possible without understanding the rapid changes in society and the economic trends. Also, one must consider the trends in society and the reaction in industry when drafting effective economic policies. When we take these present circumstances into consideration it is difficult to send out talent useful to society with conventional graduate school education where each respective graduate course faces issues separately.For that reason, it is necessary to maintain an educational and research environment that combines and make use of the strength in the two areas of business administration and economics.
Our Graduate School of Business Administration and Economics synchronizes money [finance], material [products], and people [labor] with emotion and information. We will seriously consider today's era and answer its demands. Namely, we are now able to handle questions or issues that cut across both fields of business administration and economics whether the aspect be high level research or occupational education of a higher order.

When you complete your master's you will be able to become a business person who can see things from a managerial and an economic viewpoint. The specialization of studies at our graduate school will lead you to stepping up in your career.
