Welcome to the official website of Gakushuin University Faculty of Economics!
This site contains information to help you learn more about Gakushuin University Faculty of Economics. We hope you will read the pages that interest you and gain an understanding of the characteristics and appeal of the Faculty of Economics. Studying in the Faculty of Economics will give you great opportunities to expand your own potential.
The Faculty of Economics consists of two departments: the Department of Economics and the Department of Management. Each has an enrollment of 250 students per grade, for a total enrollment of 2,000 students throughout the four grades. In contrast, the faculty has just under 40 members, including special visiting professors. While this makes us only a medium-sized college, we are proud to be a faculty with many excellent professors who are also active outside the university. Another attractive feature is that students can spend all four years studying at the "Mejiro no Mori" campus, which, despite being located in the heart of the city with easy access to public transportation, is a quiet campus full of lush greenery.
This site also includes pages introducing the faculty members of the Faculty of Economics, the characteristics of the education we offer, student campus life, and career design initiatives. By reading the research themes, lecture and seminar policies, and messages of the faculty, you can get a sense of the personalities of each professor and the direction of their research and education.
The Faculty of Economics offers small-group education, including introductory seminars, from freshman year onward. Seminars generally begin in the second half of sophomore year, and are common to both departments, allowing students to focus on their own research topics of interest while nurturing relationships with other students on the same campus.
The Faculty of Economics is home to many professors engaged in cutting-edge research in a variety of fields and have deep ties to government and business. We believe it is important for students to learn basic concepts and theories through lectures and seminars, and then use them to deepen their understanding of real-world problems and to think about solutions and responses to those problems. We also believe that, in this rapidly changing society, learning one comprehensive system at a university will be extremely useful for learning new things in the future. We hope that you recognize the importance of a university education as a training ground for learning.
Why not immerse yourself in the intellectual pursuits of the Faculty of Economics and aim for new heights?
