Graduate School of Economics

Turning Out Economists Who Can Respond to the Needs of Modern Society

Since its founding in 1950, the Graduate School of Economics has prided itself on its independent research. The School supports students in their studies across a range of fields, including economic theory, statistics and quantitative economics, the history of economics, government fiscal policy and labor economics. In 1996, the Economist course was established, which offers classes for mid-career professionals. The course offers training for people who wish to specialize in areas such as tax accounting and the civil service, and aims to produce economists who can respond to the needs of today’s highly complex society.
