Admission Policy
The Admission Policy describes the approach of Chiba University of Commerce concerning the abilities and qualities required of prospective students.
Our educational philosophy is rooted in the founding spirit of our founder Dr. Ryukichi Endo's belief in nurturing "outstanding individuals" through practical education.
We consider "outstanding individuals" to be "leaders with high ethical standards, who can take a step back to view problems facing society from a broad perspective, grasp changes that are happening, and use their learning to find solutions."
Fundamental Qualities Required of Prospective Students
- Basic academic skills: Students who have acquired the basic academic skills necessary for university study through extensive learning in the high school education curriculum.
- High ethical standards: Students who have a desire to identify real-world problems and acquire the sense of duty and morals needed to actively and independently contribute to their resolution.
- Wide-ranging knowledge: Students who can adapt to real-world changes and who have a desire to enrich their humanity by acquiring comprehensive knowledge and communication skills needed to cooperate with diverse individuals.
- Specialist knowledge and skills: Students who have a desire to acquire practical and advanced specialist abilities to identify and resolve real-world problems.
Basic Policy for the Selection of Incoming Students
General Selection will be primarily based on a scholastic aptitude test intended to determine whether candidates possess the appropriate knowledge and skills to enroll in the undergraduate degree program at the university (general comprehension, mathematical ability, capacity for expression, linguistic ability). The level of questions in the test will be in line with high school classes. A wide range of topics will be covered for assessing whether the candidates have accurately understood what they learned up to high school.
In the Comprehensive Selection, Selection by School Recommendation, and Special Selection, candidates will be selected on the basis of interviews and document screenings to assess their desire and ability to acquire the qualities required by the university.
For all selection methods, the decision will be partly based on the review of screening documents such as records of learning progress and extracurricular activities in high school. Overall academic performance may be included among the application requirements.
