HOME > Undergraduate Schools > School of Business and Public Policies


This school requires that students gain broad knowledge in social science and develop the skills needed to plan business and public poilcies in addition to acquiring basic business skills. For these reasons, the school prioritizes social science education, including law, political science, economics and business administration (the basic portion). It also requires research projects (the applied portion), as well as down-to earth education including career design, English conversation and information processing.
The school expects its students to develop a level of competence in 4 years of training that will empower them to play active roles in a broad range of possible careers such as business, government, and municipal offices.
First- and second-year students learn the basics of social science (law, political science, economics and business administration). First-year students are required to take basic practical subjects such as career design, English conversation and infromation processing. Third- and fourth-year students select and focus on their own specialities. The curriculum is arranged so that students can shift smoothly from the first 2 years of basic training to the last 2 years of specialty training.
In terms of specialized education, students can choose either business policy or public policy - or both, depending on their future needs.
Specialized education features research projects that engage second- to fourth- year students. Second-year students complete preparatory training and begin full-scale research projects in their third year. In the course of this training, students are required to participate in discussions with their seminar professors, to find and analyze problems, present solutions to those problems, and acquire presentation skills.
Chukyo Univerisity has 11 schools focusing on cultural science, social science, natural science and engineering. The School of Business and Public Policies offers a curriculum that is linked with the other schools of social science (the School of Economics, the Faculty of Law, hte School of Management and the School of Sociology).
In addition to the regular curriculum, this school offers diverse learning opportunities including enhanced office hour programs with instructors, course designed to assist students taking qualification exams and special lectures hosted by guest speakers. Students are expected to proactively take advantage of these learning opportunities.
