The college’s goal is to train students with practical and creative problem-solving skills, strategic thinking skills, communication skills, cooperation, empathy, and a keen sense of international affairs.
Moreover, the college offers a balanced curriculum of subjects that teach not only foundational knowledge in the realm of business and economics, but also insights that help solve real problems in corporations and society.
In particular, the college features Industry-Coupled Problem-Based Learning (IC-PBL) programs in which students take charge of their own learning - they study in teams and in connection with companies - and a Capstone Design where students dedicate themselves to more in-depth research on tasks they set for themselves.

Through these efforts, the college has enjoyed some remarkable success, including an international certification that recognizes the college as a world-class institution for business education.”
