Economics and Business Administration 

An open graduate school that responds to the tide of a new era

Until now, in addition to new university graduates, we have accepted and sent a variety of members, including active working adults, retired workers, and international students from Korea and China, mainly in the Shimonoseki area. The characteristics of this Graduate School are limited to a small number of students. We have established an environment where graduate students can exchange opinions based on their knowledge and experience and stimulate each other, as well as a friendly support system such as lectures and research guidance held day and night by professors.

We also provide research guidance and classes at night, Saturday, and holidays, which are easy for active working students to learn. By combining intensive lectures during closed periods (summer and winter), we will organize a timetable that allows you to acquire the necessary credits.

I look forward to the challenge of everyone who is trying to advance their careers at this Graduate School.

Graduate Graduate School of Economics has two areas: economic community system, international business, and educational economics. In addition to developing practical human resources in both areas, we are developing graduate education that meets the needs of diverse lifestyles and learning under the early course system, long-term course system, and graduate tuition fee exemption system.
