Be Effective the World Over
Almost all of the schools of commerce in Western colleges were founded about one hundred years ago, and the same holds true for Japan. Around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, there occurred a revolution in the areas of transportation and information, and international competitiveness became more dire under the conditions of the world economic depression. Consequently, business persons active on the world stage became much sought after not only in Western countries, but also in the newly emerging nation of Japan. Against this historic world backdrop, the School of Commerce at Meiji University was founded in 1904.
Now, under the weight of the current world-wide economic depression, every country is desperately seeking a new economically effective way of life, and cooperation with other countries. For the sustainable development of each economy of the global community in the 21st century, dynamic and able business persons are needed many times more than in the world of one hundred years ago.
The School of Commerce of Meiji University has seven specialized courses and offers a sound educational system from basic knowledge on through to practice, nurturing able business persons to be effective around the world.
