3 courses
We are offering completely new classes that add a global perspective to business management.
We have a large number of faculty members with specialized fields, and offer a learning experience that is rare even among the many national and public universities in Japan.
At our faculty, students hone their global education and communication skills, and acquire leadership and logical thinking skills. Their first year is shared across all faculties, while from their second year onwards they are divided into three courses, where they pursue specialized and interdisciplinary studies, including business administration. Building on the diverse values and ways of looking at things (perspectives, viewpoints, perspectives, etc.) they develop through these courses, they will develop the ability to solve the diverse challenges facing society for the future and drive the process towards creating new added value.

STUDENT'S VOICE
I want to become someone who can make suggestions that will be helpful to others.
01. What are the attractions of The University of Nagano?
The reason I chose The University of Nagano is, While learning about the global perspective that will be necessary in future society, I want to explore what I can do for my local community and find what I truly want to do. That's what I thought.During high school, I couldn't really figure out what I wanted to do, and I could only vaguely decide on something related to business or studying finance. I also had a desire to understand how the world works. Therefore, I thought I would go to university and explore my career path while studying. The University of Nagano is You choose your course in your second year, but the appealing aspect is that you can also take classes from other courses. I felt that way. Also, I think the opportunity to make lifelong friends through dormitory life and to go abroad while still a student are major attractions.
02. What are some interesting classes and subjects you enjoy learning?
Since I wasn't able to clearly figure out what I wanted to do during my first year, I chose the Global Business course in my second year, which allowed me to try various classes that matched my interests.While I took a wide range of courses including business administration and accounting, I focused my third-year courses on business-related legal systems, which I had been interested in since my first year, and on finance-related courses, which I found particularly impressive among the required elective courses I took in my second year. Of these, "Financial Systems Theory" was especially interesting. There was no textbook; the course content was determined based on research papers. It took me a considerable amount of time to understand the lectures and be able to explain them myself. The lesson involved using algebraic expressions to explore the role of banks, something I had wondered about for a long time, which helped deepen my understanding of the financial industry.
