Learning in Department of Public Management

To acquire the ability to think about public issues as well as knowledge of economics, business administration, and commerce.

Traditional economics have considered economic entities such as consumers and businesses as "passively" in response to policy and social changes. As a result, we have considered universal laws concerning economic decision-making and the effects of various policy means, and have tried to utilize them in creating a better society.
However, people and companies, who are economic entities, are also parties who influence policy formation and social changes. The daily choices of policies to support and what kind of company and which goods to consume, will determine the future society. We can also turn our choice into "active" by touching new knowledge and values. For these reasons, various people and organizations that are not limited to the government are now expected to play a role as public leaders.
In Department of Public Management, in addition to economics, business administration, and commerce, various public-related fields such as law, politics, and administration. Through this program, students will acquire the ability to think about social problems and solutions from a broad perspective and perspective.

Mr. Yoshito Yokota (from Kumamoto City's Kazuyoshikan High School)

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

Introduction of class subjects

Public accounting theory

In public accounting theory, you will learn about accounting and bookkeeping of local governments, such as city halls and prefectural offices. The content of learning in the Nissho Bookkeeping Test is intended for private companies among private companies, so even those who are good at bookkeeping will 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 understanding the unique jargon used by such local governments and how to register transactions.

Administrative Law

Let's look back on everyday life a little. Take a moped bike and buy medicine at a drugstore. In the middle of the building, I see a sign with letters written on it. Have you ever had such an experience? Also, are you living quietly at home without factory noise? In fact, the government is also involved in these activities. The government is blended into everyday life.
Under Administrative Law, you will learn various administrative activities and the rules related to them. Learning administrative law may increase your daily resolution a little bit.

Public management special lecture

In this class, you will learn about the process of how residents, companies, and governments will interact, share and solve local issues, and connect the region to development based on actual examples. Objectively grasps the issues and response actions of each field, and Manabu Osamu himself organizes their ideas while conducting research and discussing them on-the-spot. In particular, the Public Management Special Course I learn about the structure of local administration, the local economy, and the basics of social research, and connect it to the fieldwork of Public Management Special Course II.
