AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO THE POLITICS, ECONOMICS AND
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIONS THAT DRIVE SOCIETY
The school consists of three departments : Political Science, Economics, and Business Administration. Since its establishment, a key educational policy of the school has been the study of those subjects related to social science using scientific methods and the comprehensive study of social sciences without being restricted to one particular field. As Japanese society undergoes major changes in this new century, the educational goals of the school will adapt to reflect new social trends as they appear, while rising to meet the growing trend towards information networking and globalization.
