High School Students Experience Case Method at Nagoya University of Commerce & Business Special Program

Nagoya University of Commerce & Business (NUCB) held a 'High School-University Collaboration Special Program' on March 25, 2026, based on partnership agreements with commercial high schools. In this program, students experienced the university's signature case method classes, and those who achieved a certain level of performance were granted eligibility for the 'High School-University Collaboration Special Entrance Exam (Comprehensive Selection).' During the program, Professor Yuji Ono, Dean of the Faculty of Commerce, conducted a case method class based on real business issues. Participating high school students experienced proactive university-level learning by thinking, discussing, and making decisions themselves. This initiative goes beyond a simple trial class; it is designed to deepen students' understanding of university education and support informed career choices. The program evaluates students' motivation and aptitude for learning. The case method, originating at Harvard Business School in 1921, is a globally practiced educational technique for participant-centered, proactive learning. Since its founding in 1953, NUCB has pursued world-standard management education and holds the 'Triple Crown' of international accreditations. It currently operates 4 faculties and 8 departments, with exchange programs at 196 schools in 63 countries. Its business school has been ranked No. 1 in Japan by QS for five consecutive years.
