Faculty of Economics Overview

Cultivate an eye for economic forecasting and pave the way for the future.

In Faculty of Economics, students will not only understand the workings of the economy but also develop the ability to view various challenges facing society from multiple perspectives, think for themselves, and propose and implement solutions.

Today's society faces a complex and diverse range of challenges, including a declining birthrate and aging population, population decrease, digitalization, globalization, environmental problems, and regional revitalization. To understand and resolve these challenges, we need not only knowledge of economics, but also the ability to interpret data, identify problems from the field, and collaborate with diverse people.

This faculty emphasizes cultivating an "insight into the economy" by connecting economic theory with real-world society. Rather than superficially understanding economic phenomena, we aim to cultivate the ability to understand their background and mechanisms, identify challenges in a changing society, think for oneself, and make appropriate judgments and actions.

Therefore, this faculty offers a curriculum that focuses on "step-up small-group classes" that systematically and progressively teach economics from fundamentals to applications, while also allowing students to deepen their expertise according to their individual interests. Through small-group classes such as seminars and practical exercises, students deepen their learning, and through a program-based system, they can further develop their expertise according to their own interests.

A major characteristic of this faculty is that, built upon a solid foundation in economics, students can hone their expertise according to their interests and future goals, and acquire the skills to thrive in a changing society.

Characteristics of undergraduate education

Learn economics systematically and step-by-step, from the basics to applications, through our "Step-Up Small Group Classes."

Our curriculum is designed to allow students to systematically and progressively learn economics from its fundamentals to its applications. Students will steadily progress through foundational subjects such as microeconomics and macroeconomics, and then move on to a wide range of specialized fields including public finance, monetary economics, international economics, and international finance. Furthermore, they will learn statistics and data science, developing the ability to utilize data in today's society and cultivating the ability to analyze social, corporate, and regional issues based on economics and data.

Furthermore, this faculty places great emphasis on small-group education. We offer courses that encourage active learning in small groups, such as seminars and economic fieldwork, which are progressively arranged throughout each academic year. Through dialogue and discussions with faculty and peers, as well as research, analysis, and presentations, students cultivate logical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills by connecting the knowledge they have learned to real-world issues. In addition, we offer seminar courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics, and the combination of lectures and seminars allows students to steadily acquire the fundamentals of economics, which is another characteristic of our faculty's education.
