The “Big Bang of Accounting” and the “Big Bang of Finance” are expanding, as persistent issues arise amid today’s tumultuous economic environment. In order to seek solutions, a broad comprehension that bridges these two fields is essential. The Department of Accounting and Finance develops managerial ability that is rooted in these two fields and cultivates individuals who, as future accountants and financial businesspeople, uphold a high level of morality and compliance ethic.

In our small-group seminar system, throughout their university career students’ classroom experience is tailored to the kind of employment they wish to pursue and the qualifications and credentials they wish to acquire. In order to train specialists in the fields of accounting and finance, we have devised a unique type of class that caters to students wishing to pursue qualifications and licensure. Our curriculum includes step-by-step instruction and assistance in preparing for qualifications such as FP (“Financial Planner”) and Level 1 of the Business Skill Test in Bookkeeping.

Thanks to a mutual agreement with the National Central Society of Credit Cooperatives, our training program affords students an intimate, real-life perspective on regional financial systems and economies, and provides an arena for them to gain the ability to become an asset to their local community.

It has been nearly 70 years since Sapporo Gakuin University emerged from its fledgling predecessor, Sapporo Bunka Senmon Gakuin (Sapporo College of Liberal Arts). Within that span, it evolved into Sapporo Junior College, then Sapporo College of Commerce, and flourished into a liberal arts university, currently with five faculties, nine departments, and three graduate schools.

It can well be stated that the spirit which underlay the foundation of the original Sapporo Senmon Bunka Gakuin still serves as the cornerstone for the philosophy of Sapporo Gakuin University today, and as a guide for all of its academic and co-curricular pursuits.
