Curriculum policy [organization and implementation policy of curriculum ]

As our society continues to struggle though enormous change, CPAs and other accounting professionals are constantly faced with complicated situations.

What will come to their aid at such times is the ability to identify problems and bring ethical integrity and advanced professional skills to their solutions with a noble moral sense and high expertise, that is, an accounting mindset.

Our goal is to train accounting experts who have such an accounting mindset and have the ability to practice it, and aim to produce human resources who can contribute to society in various fields such as auditing firms, accounting firms, corporations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and a wide variety of other organizations.

Our curriculum consists of basic courses, core courses, and practical/applied courses, designed to help students acquire skills and knowledge ranging from basic to advanced, and ability to apply these skills practically and systematically.

In addition to acquiring expert knowledge in accounting, under the concept of “accounting + 1 (plus one)”–which is an effort to expand the field of activity by promoting the acquisition of the adjacent specialized field–we also set up a wide range of subjects across accounting and related fields for any courses.
