Diploma Policy

In this graduate school, we aim to foster researchers and highly skilled professionals who pursue "commerce studies" that aim to create new commerce by returning to the original meaning of "commerce" (akinau) - the process of negotiating and coordinating among various parties involved in the distribution of goods, money, services, and information in various activities in human society, and integrating economics and policy informatics with commerce, business administration, and accounting. We have set up three courses of study: commerce course, economics course, policy informatics course, and small and medium-sized business management course, and award the corresponding degree for each course to those who have completed the following procedures.

Curriculum Policy (Policy for organizing and implementing the curriculum)

Chiba University of Commerce aims to cultivate people who can pursue their real calling based on the lofty ideals that are the founding principle of the university, and who can view individual sciences from a comprehensive perspective, in other words, "chidoka."

The main curriculum is organized according to each course of study.
