Developing "lifelong 'ready-to-use' skills"
Through comprehensive English education and active learning, you will acquire "lifelong 'ready-to-use skills.'" Aim to become a talent that can communicate with all kinds of people and collaborate to create value.
First year
This program cultivates the skills that will serve as the foundation for four fulfilling years of learning.
There are three pillars of learning in the first year. First, students learn basic knowledge and skills in business management through compulsory subjects such as business management principles and bookkeeping principles. Second, students thoroughly brush up on their language skills through four English classes per week in order to acquire business English that can be used in society over the four years. Third, students are exposed to the culture of university professors through common subjects, with the aim of improving their human abilities.
Second Year
We will deepen our understanding of humanistic management and move forward to further leaps forward.
There are two pillars of learning in the second year. Deepen your understanding of humanistic management, which can only be learned at Soka University's Faculty of Business Administration, and hone your practical business management and English skills. Students aim to acquire practical business management knowledge and skills through major specialized subjects such as marketing and human resource management, and improve their practical abilities through workshop-based subjects. Students also hone their English communication skills necessary for business, and strengthen their specialized skills through overseas programs with a wide range of partner companies around the world.
Third Year
Students will deepen their knowledge of specialized fields through learning in seminars.
The main pillar of learning in the third year is the specialized seminar. Through specialized seminars and cluster (specialized subject group) learning, students will deepen their expertise in the skills they want to acquire and areas of interest. As internship activities aligned with each student's career path begin in earnest, students will improve their information gathering and analysis skills, logical construction skills, and hypothesis setting skills that will be useful in the real world through activities and learning both on and off campus, in order to become leaders who practice humanistic management in society.
Fourth Year
Students will compile a graduation thesis as the culmination of their four years of study.
The main focus of learning in the fourth year is the graduation thesis. Based on the specialized knowledge gained in seminars from the third year, students will mobilize the various skills they have acquired over the past four years to write a graduation thesis on a topic of their interest. While working on the thesis, students will be able to rediscover the intersection between the various knowledge they have learned over the past four years and practical applications in society, and will develop an awareness of becoming a professional worker who can put humanistic management into practice, spreading their wings and taking to the world with confidence.
