Course of Study

Students will advance their study of economics through one of two courses of cumulative study: Type A (focusing on economic theory and mathematics) and Type B (focusing on economic conditions and history). Type A is for students who chose mathematics for their entrance examination, while Type B is for students who chose history and for students admitted through the PEARL entrance examination. These two courses, with different starting points, merge into a single course at the Mita Campus. This section gives an overview of the four-year course of study.

Students develop wide-ranging knowledge and understanding through general education and foreign language courses. They also take courses that develop their foundation in economics from two different starting points: Type A and Type B.

In addition to microeconomics and economic history, students take elective courses that serve as a foundation for studies in various specialized fields. Students take courses that will prepare them not only for the fields of specialization they wish to pursue in their third and fourth years of study, but also for the completion requirements for various programs (DEEP, FACTS, Plurilingual and Pluricultural Studies).

The two courses with their respective starting points, Type A and Type B, are merged into a single curriculum that is tailored to the interests of each student. Students take a wide variety of major field courses to deepen their expertise and broaden their perspectives. In addition, students will select one of the three main pillars of study: research group (seminar), PCP, or research project. Based on this choice, they will write a graduation thesis, submit an essay in English, or present their research results.

While continuing studies aimed at developing their expertise, students will synthesize the findings of their research through a variety of opportunities, such as seminars, the PCP, or a research project. In addition to completing the required courses, students are awarded certificates for various programs (DEEP, FACTS, Plurilingual and Pluricultural Studies) by submitting final results that meet the prescribed requirements.

The Faculty of Economics offers three special study programs: “DEEP” for data science, “FACTS” for field research, and “Plurilingual and Pluricultural Studies” to provide students with a higher competence for the culture and society of a specific language area. The faculty aims to cultivate professionals in fields with high social demand.

The goal of this course is to give students a solid foundation for becoming data scientists by teaching them the theory and practice of data science. Students who fulfill the requirements of the program receive a certificate of completion.

Through fieldwork and research of primary sources, students will acquire the ability to solve problems and develop theories based on the specific properties of the subject matter. Students who fulfill the requirements of the program receive a certificate of completion.

Building on the foundation of the study of a second foreign language, students intensively explore the language, culture, and society of a specific language area. Students who fulfill the requirements of the program receive a certificate of completion.
