Beschreibung des Programms

The Graduate Program in Economics has two objectives: to give students the skills needed to engage in independent research in the future, and to train professionals equipped with the knowledge to engage in highly specialized fields of work. Measures to achieve these goals include a diversity of classes, a separate admissions process for non-traditional students, and a selection of night classes. The curriculum is adjusted continuously in response to changing economic realities. In light of the trend toward computerization and other social transformations, recent resources have been devoted to the fields of information and public economics. Students may also take classes at eight affiliated universities. Here at Meiji Gakuin University, both lecture and seminar classes are intensive, providing an excellent setting for the study of advanced economic theory. Both Japan and other countries have faced many problems related to the economy and finance in recent years. Through the extensive application of theoretical, institutional, and historical knowledge, as well as through empirical analysis, students in the program develop the ability to understand these problems and come up with solutions. As a consequence, they also become capable of writing academic papers with real-world relevance. Phrased differently, the department is committed to nurturing our students' ability to recognize and solve problems not only through the application of knowledge but also by analyzing institutions and empirical evidence. The program is aimed both at fostering insightful scholars and educators with specialized as well as broad knowledge, and at contributing to the education of life-long learners and working students seeking to take the next step in their careers.

Informationen über das Institut

Meiji Gakuin University traces its origins to the Hepburn School, which was established in the closing days of the Edo era. Over its history of more than 150 years, Meiji Gakuin University has supported the globalization of Japan by playing a pioneering role in education. The four years you spend as a college undergraduate will be the most special time in your life. What awaits you after your experiences among the 6 faculties and 16 departments of the university is your new self.

The newly released promotional movie focuses on students who are thinking about and applying what they can do today, in the “new kind of student life” premised on coronavirus prevention measures. The six students featured in the movie speak candidly about their student experience up to now and going forward, and describe what life at Meiji Gakuin University is like today. They go to campus, study, have lunch, talk with friends. Activities like these used to be perfectly ordinary, but now seem truly precious. That’s why, as a university entrusted with students’ day-to-day experience, we will continue to value the “ordinary” aspects of student life. Be sure to see the movie!
