Course introduction

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.

FeaturedSeminars and Labs

• Tomizawa seminar

  

  This seminar will deepen students' understanding of regional economies and small and medium-sized enterprises from the perspectives of industry and business. Students will not only read materials related to regional economies, industries, and tourism promotion, but also engage in practical learning through group work, interviews and research with local companies, and analysis of the results. Our goal is to learn about regional revitalization and small and medium-sized enterprise promotion, to gain energy from seeing adults working hard in the community and realizing that joy can be found in hardship. Through these efforts, students will gain a perspective on the economy and society, which will help them develop their future career paths. Furthermore, students will become familiar with computers, practice writing, and acquire academic writing skills.

• 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.

Studying economics

Learn in advanced career courses

I heard about this course at an open campus, and I decided to enroll because I was very attracted to the unique classes that prepare you for the exam and the aspiring seniors.
Currently, I am mainly studying microeconomics and macroeconomics, and my economics test score is already at university graduation level! Although this course is difficult for those who do not try their best, you will be able to learn through friendly competition with like-minded peers. Many of our seniors have received multiple job offers from major companies, and one of their strengths is that they are good at finding employment.

While learning about the 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.
