2. Change Date: April 1, 2027 (Reiwa 9)
3. Background/Reason:
The Faculty of Business Administration has been committed to fostering individuals who can proactively identify and solve problems through learning that alternates between theory and practice. The Department of Business Communication has developed an education that cultivates specialized knowledge in business administration and accounting, as well as creative thinking, flexible problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with diverse others.
