Currently, the School of Business Administration consists of three departments: the Department of Business Administration, the Department of Accounting, and the Department of Public Management. Its goal is to cultivate "global business leaders" and "value-creating professionals." Additionally, it offers interdisciplinary tracks such as the Global Business Leader Education Track (GREAT), the Certified Advanced Professional Accountants Program (CAP), and the Digital Business Professional Development Track (DIGIT), which will start in the 2024 academic year. The school has also launched the "Meiji Business Challenge," a comprehensive entrepreneurship and startup support program led by the School of Business Administration.
Students at the School of Business Administration learn a wide range of knowledge necessary for managing organizations in both for-profit and non-profit sectors. The program also provides opportunities to gain real-world experience through field studies both domestically and internationally, as well as Project-Based Learning (PBL) with guest practitioners. These experiences serve as a foundation for students to build their careers in the future.
Students at Meiji University's School of Business Administration are expected to actively take advantage of these learning opportunities, generate new ideas from multiple perspectives, collaborate with others who have diverse values to solve problems, and acquire the ability to drive innovation. The School of Business Administration has consistently offered education that meets the needs of new eras throughout its history and tradition, and it aims to continue this challenge, creating the future together with its students.
