Dean of the School of Business Administration, Susumu HARADA
Business Administration is the study of the mechanisms that drive organizations, whether for-profit or non-profit. In today’s world, as we face an ever-growing number of complex challenges, understanding the foundations of social and organizational activity is a powerful tool for shaping the future.
Established in 1953 under the founding philosophy of Kichiro Sasaki—“Education should not create individuals who are only useful today, but those who will be valuable tomorrow”—the School of Business Administration has continued to evolve with this vision at its core.
We provide a comprehensive range of programs—including broad liberal arts courses, specialized studies in business administration, accounting, and public management, as well as diverse study abroad and hands-on, practice-oriented opportunities—to nurture "value-creating professionals" who tackle unknown challenges and generate new value, and "global business leaders" who thrive on the world stage.
Join us as we continue to move forward as creators of the future—and together, let us shape tomorrow.
