About us
Kanazawa University is located in Kanazawa, the ancient capital of the Kaga Domain, which is one of the most important cities on the Japan Sea coast. The roots of the University can be traced to 1862 when the Kaga Domain established the Hikoso Vaccination Center.
While cherishing this long tradition, to foster the superior human resources required by society and develop new academic areas for the modern age, in April 2008, Kanazawa University reorganized the previous undergraduate education of eight faculties into three colleges; the College of Human and Social Sciences, the College of Science and Engineering, the College of Medical, Pharmaceutical, and Health Sciences. Under these three colleges, 16 schools were established to focus on various subjects demanded by modern society. From April 2021, with the establishment of the College of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Sciences, Kanazawa University will be structured into four colleges eighteen schools, and seven graduate schools.
Apart from the organization to which the students belong, academic staff belong to an institute corresponding to each college. The Institute of Human and Social Sciences consists of five faculties: Economics and Management, Human Science, Letters, Law, and Education. The Faculty of Economics and Management consists of around 32 researchers.
This website aims to provide information on the research activities of the members of the Faculty of Economics and Management and report their research outcomes. The Faculty of Economics and Management is committed to improving the quality of education and research in the schools and graduate schools and fulfilling its mission of contributing to society through research.
Organization (from 1 April 2023)
The Faculty of Economics and Management belongs to the Institute of Human and Social Sciences. Faculty members primarily provide lectures and seminars for students of the Schools of Economics and the Graduate School of Human and Socio-Environmental Studies.
