Chiba University of Commerce

Since its founding in 1928, the Chiba University of Commerce (CUC) has accepted many young people to study here under the educational philosophy of “practical scholarship with high morality” as it started as a school for accounting. The educational content we offer has evolved in order to nurture people who are able to respond to both the demands of the times and our changing society, and we continue to engage in academic research aimed at finding solutions to the issues faced by our society.

CUC inspires its students to become more active, to expand their individuality, and to develop their abilities. To help them tie together their book learning with real-life experience, they are constantly tested and encouraged to evolve.

For the future of each and every student, CUC will continue to evolve, and through practical scholarship, we will continue to nurture people who are able to carve a path towards their own future. As an education and research institution, we see it as our duty to continue working towards finding solutions to the problems our society faces today.

Chiba University of Commerce was founded with the goal of contributing to society by nurturing individuals who have high ethical standards and who view the world with an open mind.

Founder Ryukichi Endo believed that to reach that goal it was necessary to spread the idea of "practical scholarship with high morality" - studies which are useful to society with its ever-expanding social diversity and internationalization.

The pillars of that education would be those academic disciplines which allow students to understand and live through the constantly changing regional, national and global issues. That spirit continues to serve as the foundation of the practical education offered by CUC which provides young people with the knowledge they need to live in the world today.

The heart of the university’s educational philosophy is to use practical education to foster in business people a strong sense of ethics applicable to the modern day. The university has implemented this advanced, practical educational philosophy in each department and graduate school in order to better contribute to society.
