Leadership

Aiming to be a university needed by the world

Today's business society is undergoing rapid globalization. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the mission of young people to be agents of change and take on new challenges on the world stage. Under such circumstances, universities must nurture "global human resources" who can play an important role worldwide.

In 2006, our school became the first undergraduate school in Japan to be accredited by the American organization AACSB International, and since then, the university has further enhanced its international reputation as a premier educational institution. Through international accreditation, we have formed multi-faceted alliances in education and research with top overseas universities to provide students with an environment full of international opportunity. In addition, with an emphasis on management systems with the student in mind, we are making every effort to improve course content and educational delivery methods, strengthen student support systems, and continue to make improvements to increase satisfaction in all aspects of student life.

The university will continue to reform itself based on the founding motto of "Frontier Spirit" set forth by its founder, and aims to become an institution of higher learning that is committed to serving the needs of students to meet the demands of the future.

Our university provides practical business education. Our classes employ a learning method called “active learning,” which centers on the participants (i.e., students). Using “cases”—real-world challenges faced by actual companies—as teaching materials, students consider how they would address these challenges and exchange ideas with one another to gain insight into the true nature of business. Through active learning, students not only gain business knowledge but also develop the skills required in the professional world—such as the ability to present their own opinions, communicate effectively, and generate new ideas by considering diverse perspectives through active listening. We have created an environment that fosters creative and ethical leaders embodying the “Frontier Spirit” that our university strives to cultivate. Through our internationally accredited educational program, let’s aim to become the business leaders of the future.
