The Faculty of Business Administration is a comparatively new faculty that separated from the Faculty of Economics and was established as an independent faculty in 1967. There are only two national universities in Japan that have a Faculty of Business Administration: YNU and Kobe University. It is a faculty that well demonstrates the special characteristics of YNU, whose motto is a “practical learning approach”.

The Faculty of Business Administration has welcomed 53 students from 14 countries in Asia, Europe, Africa, Central America, and Australia. Japanese students and students from various countries studying side by side in the same classroom is a scene that is taken for granted here.
Moreover, YNU has concluded exchange agreements with numerous overseas universities, enabling credit transfer. This allows students to study abroad without needing to delay their graduation, and so another feature of the Faculty of Business Administration is that many students experience study abroad.

Comprising four divisions, the Faculty of Business Administration is able to satisfy a wide range of educational needs. The faculty can accommodate individuals who wish to study administration in an interdisciplinary and systematic manner; individuals who are interested in accounting and finance; individuals who consider administration from the standpoint of information, and individuals who consider administration from a global perspective. For information about department features, please refer to the page for each department.

The Faculty of Business Administration also includes the Information Center for the Faculty of Business Administration. The Center contains an Information Education Classroom, Information Education Laboratory, PC Room, and a Server Room, all of which are equipped with the latest computers and servers and are LAN-connected. Altogether the center has 70 computers and 10 servers in operation, and various classes and lectures for the Management Information Systems and other courses are held here. Students use each of the rooms freely to search via the Internet for information on a range of topics as well as to transmit information. Furthermore, the broad range of software available – Microsoft Office, statistical software (TSP), CAI software (bookkeeping, cost accounting, management accounting, system accounting), Visual Basic, etc. – are used for class topics and student reports and graduation theses.
