About the Graduate Schools
To keep abreast of the latest changes in ICT and globalization, the Graduate School at Okayama Shoka University aims to cultivate people who not only analyze the social phenomena accurately, but also contribute to society with highly-specialized knowledge of commerce, law and economics. Our school endeavors to enhance accessibility for working professionals, by providing refresher courses and “recurrent” education programs under the day and night course system.
The Graduate School of Business and Commerce
The Graduate School of Business and Commerce at Okayama Shoka University offers both two-year and three-year programs as well as a one-year course for those with business experience. Our Graduate School offers three streams: marketing, accounting and commercial and business management. Postgraduates work independently on honing their skills in formulating research methodologies and preparing a master’s thesis under the guidance of their supervisor, developing a deeper understanding of the theory and practice of commerce, business administration and accounting through a combination of advanced study and practical training.
