Understanding Economic theory provides students with deep insights that can contribute to a deeper academic understanding of political science, international relations, area studies, history, and law. Students learn about markets, consumer and business behavior, international trade and finance, the government's role in the economy, economic development, wealth creation, and the fundamentals of monetary and fiscal policies. The senior seminar focuses on applying the aquired knowledge to various national experiences such as Japan within the context of the asian and the global economies.

I chose to attend TUJ because of its diverse and international student population in a tight-knit community. I enjoyed learning from individuals across the globe. Meeting people from different backgrounds through clubs, events and courses taught me a lot about new cultures and the true meaning of diversity. Duding my time at TUJ, I made an effort to engage with many groups and events to broaden my horizons. TUJ provided me with opportunities like captaining the TUJ Futsal Team, working as a teaching assistant for the Academic English Program, working as an open campus worker, and leading various key projects and events on campus. Thanks to my professors, especially those in my major, I gained a solid foundation of knowledge in my field, which helped me secure a position as a software engineer at Rakuten. TUJ launched my career and guided me towards my future goals, and I am forever grateful.
