Students learn the basics of business. These include systems of production, distribution and consumption, and business management operations. The curriculum consists of five courses in two programs. One of the programs is Business Management, which offers three courses; Management and Entrepreneurship, Sales and Accountancy. The other is Regional Management, which offers two courses; Regional Leadership and Administration. The Department aims to cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit and to develop specialists in areas of business and community leadership equipped to deal with the changing characteristics of the times.

Specialized subjects such as Principles of Commerce, Economics and Accounting are offered during the first year. This helps students to grasp the basics of the study programs so that they can decide what they want to learn during their second year and beyond according to their interests. In order to promote more efficient learning, smaller classes and a semester system are also offered throughout the four-year course. An internship system is also offered whereby students can learn about real corporate situations in the field. This equips students with awareness as members of society, and instills a sense of purpose to enable them to enhance their potential for the future.

Students acquire a basic knowledge of corporate strategy and improve their decision-making abilities. This is done through learning the importance of management philosophy in the process of growth and advancement, planning of management strategies in response to environmental changes, and management and administration using actual corporations as case studies.

This course is divided into two parts. One looks at understanding the behavioral patterns of consumers, while the other is aimed at understanding marketing research. Students also create research sheets the analysis of which form the basis for further discussion.

This involves a demonstrative and comprehensive study of commerce by conducting field research according to individual group research themes. Students carry out hearings from corporations and create questionnaires in the community and produce reports based on the research results. They then give feedback to the community and the corporations involved in the research.
