Learning in Department of Public Management

To acquire the ability to think about public issues as well as knowledge of economics, business and commerce.

Traditional economics have considered economic entities such as consumers and businesses as "passively" in response to policy and social changes. As a result, we have considered universal laws concerning economic decision-making and the effects of various policy means, and have tried to utilize them in creating a better society.
However, people and companies, which are economic entities, are also parties that affect policy formation and social changes. Daily choices, such as what kind of policy to support and what kind of company and which goods to consume, will determine the future society. And we can turn our choice into "active" by touching new knowledge and values. For these reasons, various people and organizations that are not limited to the government are now expected to play a role as public leaders.
In Department of Public Management, in addition to economics, business and commerce studies, various fields related to the public, such as law, politics and administration. Through this, we will acquire the ability to think about social issues and solutions from a broad perspective and standpoint.

Introduction of class subjects

Non-profit organizations are also called NPOs. It is not a government, nor a company. Although it is a private organization, he does not make money. It is an "organization that has been established with aspirations" for friends and communities, for the country and society. Non-profit organizations reach out-of-the-art areas and boldly confront the problems caused by governments and large corporations. Their success has changed the world and has changed the times. A non-profit organization is a detailed explanation of who has been doing what has been done.
