Design your own course of study from one of four fields
Four fields of study lie at the heart of academics at the School of Business and Commerce: Management, Accounting, Marketing Science, and Economy and Industry. Fields are specialized yet complement each other, allowing students to independently select and take courses in subjects and fields based on their own intellectual interests and future career paths.
Learning Across Fields in Specialized Program Courses
The Faculty of Business and Commerce offers programs that enable students to systematically study a range of interdisciplinary issues that transcend fields, covering topics such as globalization, strategy, policy and regulations, methods of empirical analysis, as well as the history of theory and practice. If you wish to gain the intellectual training to help you identify and solve problems from a broad perspective, you can choose from a wide range of courses in the Methods of Empirical Analysis program. Using data and case studies, the program will equip you with various tools to generate and analyze quantitative and qualitative evidence for making decisions.
Developing problem identificationand solving skills through active learning
Through study groups (known as “seminars”) and general education seminars, the Faculty of Business Commerce has traditionally emphasized the Keio spirit of hangaku-hankyo, a tradition of learning while teaching and teaching while learning. We focus on active learning through practical exercises. In their first and second years, students take general education seminars and experimental subjects, while in their third and fourth years, they are offered a wide variety of seminar subjects such as research groups, research exercises, foreign language exercises, international liberal arts exercises, and social mathematics. For the research groups and research exercises, which give students access to the content of each field through active learning, there are study periods of varying lengths, from a half-year (2 credits) to two years (8 credits). This enables students to flexibly design their course of study at their own pace, especially if they choose to study abroad.
