With the rise of AI and IoT, ultra-smart technologies are accelerating changes in industrial structures and societal interests, leading to an increasingly unpredictable future. As a result, more proactive efforts will be required to address issues such as balancing economic growth with environmental preservation, and eliminating economic disparities.
The Faculty of Economics not only provides students with fundamental and universal economic knowledge and skills, but also offers an educational program covering a wide variety of fields. In particular, the school is unique in that it offers a full range of courses in advanced information technology and provides students with the opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge and skills, thanks to the advantage of being affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering, and the Department of Information and Computer Science.
Through logical and mathematical thinking, students will be trained to contribute to solving problem-solving, driving social progress, and achieving sustainable economic growth.
In April 2026, the Faculty of Economics will transition to a two-major system: Major of Economics and Major of Contemporary Society.
Economics is the pursuit of building a better society. At our university, students can study economics and society across a wide range of fields, including medicine, food, tourism, and culture, which are expected to develop further in the future. In addition, students can engage in cross-faculty learning, mainly with the Faculty of Business Administration and the Faculty of Engineering, collaborate with companies and governments outside the university, and acquire new skills in information technology and other areas.
Students will gain a broad understanding of society by studying three key areas: Local Community Design, Media and Cultural Design, and Life Design. Through fieldwork, students will engage deeply with contemporary society, approaching various issues from multiple perspectives and working toward solving problems with innovative and new ideas.
