Learning in Department of Public Management

Students will acquire the ability to think about public issues along with knowledge of economics, business administration and commerce.

Traditional economics have considered economic entities, such as consumers and businesses, as entities that act "passively" in response to changes in policies and society. In this way, we have been thinking about universal laws concerning decisions made by economic entities and the effects of various policy instruments, and trying to make use of them in creating a better society.
However, people and companies that are economic entities are also parties that influence policy formation and social changes. Our daily choices, such as what policies we support and what kind of company we consume, will determine the future society. And we can turn our choices into "active" by touching new knowledge and values. For this reason, it is now expected that various people and organizations, not limited to the government, will play a role as public players.
In Department of Public Management, students study various fields related to the public, such as law, politics, and administration, in addition to economics, business administration and commerce. Through this program, students acquire the ability to think about social problems and solutions from a broad perspective and perspective.

Mr. Kaito Yokota (from Kumamoto City Soyukan High School)

Because I wanted to be a university where I could learn about local issues, my high school teacher introduced me to Department of Public Management at Shimonoseki City University, and I decided to go on to school after experiencing mock classes on an open campus. As part of the Faculty of Economics, we are expanding the possibilities of the future while learning about economic fields. At the same time, we are also working on studying to obtain a teacher's license for "high school citizens." One of the characteristic subjects of the department is "Public Management Special Lectures". In a class to discover issues in Shimonoseki and consider solutions, we visited Shimonoseki Station and Shimonoseki Municipal Archeological Museum and presented the current situation and solutions through group work.
In addition to academic work, we are also focusing on club activities. In my handball club, I practice three times a week so that I can achieve good results at the Chugoku and Shikoku tournaments and prefectural tournaments held in spring and summer. In the future, I would like to take a job that can make use of what I have learned. To this end, I would like to learn not only local communities but also various fields such as economy and management.

Introduction of class subjects

Theory of Public Accounting

In public accounting theory, you will learn about accounting and bookkeeping of local governments, such as city halls and prefectural offices. The contents to be learned in the Nissho Bookkeeping Test are for private companies, so even those who are good at bookkeeping come up with many technical terms that are unfamiliar. In this class, the curriculum is structured so that you can analyze the financial statements of the local government where you live, including the understanding of the unique technical terms used in such local governments and the method of booking transactions.

Administrative Law

Let's look back on our daily lives. Take a moped bike and buy medicine at a drugstore. I see a signboard with letters written on the construction site on the way. Do you have such an experience? Also, are you living quietly at home without the noise of the factory? Actually, the government is involved in these. The government is blended in everyday life.
Under the Administrative Law, you will learn various administrative activities and rules related to them. Learning administrative law may increase your daily resolution a bit.

Public Management Special Lecture

In this class, you will learn the process based on actual examples of how residents, companies, governments, etc. are involved, sharing and solving local issues, and connecting the region to development. We objectively grasp the issues and response actions of each field of the world, and Osamu himself investigates and discusses them on the ground and organizes ideas. In particular, in the Public Management Special Course I, students learn the mechanisms of local administration, the local economy, and the basics of social surveys, and connect them to the fieldwork of Public Management Special Course II.
