YOKOHAMA COLLEGE OF COMMERCE

“Take up challenges with a positive and independent attitude”

Our school has just celebrated the 40th Anniversary in 2006. Since the foundation, we have been holding up the school precepts, “Be a responsible person that one can trust you to do things,” and we have been producing a large number of promising quality graduates. At the same time, we have been consistently aiming at training professionals and experts --- that is, we expect our students to enhance specialized knowledge, moral values, the sense of responsibility, service-minded personality, ethics of business, and ability to adapt to a new environment promptly. We assume that only those who obtain these essential elements can be a reliable professional.

We hope our students to possess a strong sense of purpose for future and spend four years with a positive and independent attitude. In practice, studying at college means, in our interpretation, to absorb as much knowledge as possible and to learn how to change it into practical wisdom for life. Our school provides a small-class education which enables our members of staff and students to build a closer and friendlier relationship between them, and a cozy and homey atmosphere created under such circumstances is one of our unique features.

We introduced a semester system to our school and organized a new curriculum in 2005. This change is basically intended to enrich our skill-enhancing education focusing on computer, language, and bookkeeping in particular, which starts from the first grade. Furthermore, in order to develop the individuality of each student, more variety in courses has been offered for attaining some specific qualifications.

We will devote ourselves to educate our students to be a professional who can respond to various kinds of social demands and take a major role in the new era.
