Overview

OUC towerOsaka University of Commerce is a private institute for tertiary education, and is a part of the Tanioka Gakuen Educational Foundation. Its origin dates back to 1928, when the Osaka Joto School of Commerce was established. The University was founded in 1949 as the Joto Vocational University, and the name was changed to the Osaka University of Commerce a few years later. Today, the University has two faculties, the economics and business administration as well as the Graduate School of Regional Policy Studies, with approximately 4,500 students enrolled altogether.

The university is situated in the city of Higashi-Osaka, a notable hub of commerce. The Japanese style of doing business, which in recent years has enjoyed a preeminent global reputation, bears close resemblance to the local style of the “Osaka merchants.” It is my hope that our students should, above all, learn the spirit of the Osaka merchant, who trusts people, is able to read them closely, and values personal relationships.

Courses will be taught in English.
