Informatization and internationalization progress
Unraveling economic and social issues
Acquire the ability to lead to solutions
Students learn about the world economy by paying attention to the movement of money not only domestically but also overseas, and acquire a global perspective. We will develop a sense of balance that allows you to act in accordance with the flow of money, and the ability to lead in an increasingly integrated and fluidized international society.

The key to studying economics
Subjects related to “life”
Before learning specialized subjects, build the basics of economics through introductory subjects related to "life." Increase your desire to learn while feeling familiar with economics.

Looking ahead to your career path after graduation
Strengthen career education
"Career education-related subjects" allow students to engage in practical learning such as corporate research and internships that will help them become more aware of who they will be after graduation.

Learn economics from multiple angles
Establishment of a wide range of specialized subjects
Economics is deeply related to daily life. In order to cover this wide range of fields, we have established a variety of specialized subjects related to daily life and the local community.
Four courses and programs available from the first year
From the first year, students are divided into four courses and programs: Economics Course, Advanced Career Course, Civil Service Course, and Tourism Business Course. They explore the topics they want to study and their future career paths and goals based on their interests and aptitudes.
Economics Course
From the basics to applications, students can freely study a wide range of fields according to their interests and goals, and through in-depth research through seminars and other activities, they can maximize their individual learning.
We will support you in obtaining qualifications that will allow you to utilize your economic knowledge and help you develop your career.
Advanced career course
By taking the Economics Proficiency Test (ERE) and TOEIC, students aim to achieve higher levels of employment and career paths, such as Osaka Sangyo University Graduate School, reputable private companies, or public service positions at prefectural offices.
We provide full support to students who work hard, with guidance backed by a proven track record in academics and employment.
Civil Service Course
You can study through a unique curriculum aimed at passing civil service exams (police, fire department, etc.).
The courses taken are recognized as graduation credits, eliminating the need to attend two schools.
Tourism Business Course
Students will learn about policy and other topics across the board, and develop practical skills that will enable them to respond to a variety of business situations.
In addition to honing a global perspective, we will cultivate human resources who can contribute to society through tourism.
Athlete Support Program
For students who were involved in sports club activities in high school and would like to continue in club activities after entering university, we aim to develop human resources who can thrive in a variety of industries, such as distribution and finance, by acquiring economic knowledge and basic social skills.

Activities of the University Festival Executive Committee
For future sustenance
In my first and second years, I took classes in a wide range of fields including economics, and am currently working on the SDGs and food loss issues. In addition to my studies, I am also Human Resources Department of the University Festival Executive Committee, which I have been involved with since my first year. I am conscious of building a team in which everyone takes the initiative in tackling their own work by adding my own individuality to the way I have been working as Human Resources Department. I feel that I have gained a lot of experience that will be useful even after I enter the workforce, such as giving explanations to participating groups, coordinating schedules, and managing security shifts on the day.

While learning about SDGs
I want to improve my problem-solving skills
In the seminar, we are learning about companies' efforts towards SDGs. Our group's theme is food loss, so our problem-solving skills are improved as we propose various solutions. I became interested in the SDGs after participating in food bank activities in my high school student council, so it's really fun to study a topic that interests me at university.
Since seminars are held in small groups starting from the first year, students can hone their communication skills through presentations and exchanging opinions.

Kimura seminar
In our social and economic lives, we sometimes face challenges such as old age, disability, illness, and unemployment. Social security is a system in which society as a whole supports individuals and families facing challenges and guarantees a minimum standard of living for all. The final system within social security is "social welfare." Social welfare serves as an "anchor" within social security. In this seminar, we will hold various discussions on the theme of social welfare. Specifically, members will first take turns reading basic literature, then organize and share the content. After that, each member will set a theme based on their individual interests, and will exchange opinions while repeatedly reading literature and making presentations. Ultimately, students will write a graduation thesis based on what they have learned.
Lee seminar
This seminar is based on the new employee training program of the corporate planning department of a major company. Specifically, we work on assignments like a project and engage in team activities with multiple members. By experiencing the working atmosphere in a real working environment, we value the idea of ``Let's try it!'' and create a sense of excitement. In addition, when setting assignments, we incorporate a number of tools that are perfect for participatory classes, such as economics simulations and trade games, in accordance with the learning status of seminar students.
