The Shonai region, by maintaining Sakata Port and expanding highways, is especially expected to be the center for interaction with the Japan Sea-Rim countries, and so require
to cultivate capable people to lead in both economy and cultural interactions. However, at
present, there are regretfully few workplaces where such knowledge of and ability in international fields can be used.

Therefore, the International Business Management Course cultivates people with practical capabilities, who can handle corporate finance and computing in business management, not to mention those who are well versed in international trading and languages. As a result, our great emphasis is laid on having students get jobs. Continuing entrepreneurial education from previous years, we will foster more outstanding people who have the ability to be the driving force of future local companies and who can contribute to local economy, with the ability to start and develop venture businesses themselves.

Concentrating on English, Bookkeeping/Accounts and Computing in the curriculum, especially English and Bookkeeping/Accounts, we continue to offer elective courses in English and Bookkeeping/Accounts in order to develop the abilities of students according to their strength. In addition, with the Business Incubation Class to conduct practical venture business education, we foster students' practical abilities synthesized with knowledge of management and economics as well as the above mentioned three main subjects. Further, we adopt a large amount of actual practice role-play, and place stress on work experience, international exchange training and training on overseas trips to improve skills in collecting information and making presentations. We aim to improve students' capabilities adjusting themselves to the society.
