Faculty overview

Cultivating economic experts who can decipher the future economy and carve out their own future.

The objective of Rissho University Faculty of Economics is to help students understand the complex structure and changing factors of modern society, and to acquire the ability to identify and solve problems on their own.
In order to get a job and survive in today's globalized, information-driven society, it has become just as important to acquire a solid "knowledge infrastructure" that transcends specialized fields, such as improving one's own intellectual level and communication skills by exchanging specialized knowledge with people from a variety of fields, as it has to acquire English language proficiency and basic computer skills.

Furthermore, to acquire economic knowledge and skills in a more specialized and gradual manner, a proper understanding of economic trends will be required. Therefore, the curriculum of the Faculty of Faculty of Economics provides basic subjects such as language, information processing, and basic exercises, and has a system in place that allows students to learn in stages, from introductory economics subjects to core subjects and then applied subjects. In addition, we have three courses available: economics, international studies, and finance, which are directly linked to the future that students envision.

Rissho University 's Faculty of Economics has introduced a three-course system - Economics, International Studies, and Finance - that is directly linked to the future you envision.
