Faculty of Business Administration
Creating leaders on the cutting edge of the economic world Cultivating scholarship and practical ability that can be utilized worldwide
In today's world corporate activities go beyond the boundaries of countries and globalization is ever-expanding. This creates a demand for generalists who have skills such as the ability to communicate in English, navigate the Internet, and forecast the future in any field. On the other hand, there is also a great demand for specialists (such as certified public accountants, licensed tax accountants, and analysts) who are equipped with specific knowledge needed in our increasingly complicated society. In addition, the skills required to find new business opportunities and carry out venture activities are also highly valued. Our department is organized into a curriculum where students can choose from among three areas - Management, Accounting, and Commerce - in order to train generalists, experts, and managers who will play an active role in solving various issues. Konan's Graduate School of Accounting is scheduled to be established in 2006, aiming to train certified public accountants and provide courses to nurture specialized qualifications in accounting. Also, the faculty has a plan to establish a research center for business innovations in the near future, where research activities will be carried out for the local and wider communities. It will link the industrial world, government offices and other universities to become a new business model based on themes concerning new business start ups, guidance, and training of venture corporations. The center aims to further develop into a business school that provides the best education for those wishing to handle the important business issues of the 21st century.
The Faculty of Business Administration focuses on the behavior of corporations and sheds light on the mechanisms of the economy and organizations while conducting applied research. Our Management, Accounting, and Commerce courses respond to the needs of contemporary society and can be utilized not only in Japan but worldwide, corresponding to the globalization of corporate activities. Furthermore, through internships, volunteer activities and overseas study trips, the Faculty aims at cultivating people who possess a rich sense of ethics and a humanistic outlook. Finally, all of our students participate in small classes with teachers offering meticulous guidance so that they can enhance their individuality and become business leaders of the 21st century.
