HISTORY OF THE FACULTY
OF ECONOMICS
In April 1900, the first lecture on economics was
delivered in the
Economists of Kyoto Imperial University cooperated
with jurists to publish an academic journal titled "Law and Economics,
Domestic and Foreign Review (Horitsugaku Keizaigaku Naigai Ronso)",
and then launched the still now continuing economics journal "The
Economic Review (Keizai Ronso)" in 1915.
This group, then consisted of 8 professors, 2
associate professors, and 100 students per academic year, was called the Kyoto
School, and they devoted to the study "autonomous economics for
citizens" (See Kyoto Daigaku, History of Kyoto University, 1997, p.
153). And, in 1926, with the aim of their activity to go internationalization,
they published the Kyoto University
Economic Review in English. However, due to political pressure against
communist sympathizers, Professor Kawakami had to leave the University in 1928.
With the newly appointed faculty members, four additional
primary areas of research unit (koza) were offered, beginning in 1930:
economics specific subjects; history-and business-related subjects; law-and
literature-related subjects; and seminars and readings on economics-related
topics in foreign languages. By
1939, pro-war sentiment prompted the addition of classes such as Principles of
East Asian Economic Policy and Principles of the Japanese Economy. In 1941, the
number of primary areas of research unit (koza) totaled 13, including
subjects related to East Asian economies.
During WWII, studies were curtailed, and students
were sent to the front. After the
war, the professors and associate professors engaged in self-examination and
criticism of their own pro-war activities. As a result, 14 faculty members left
the school and six remained.
Democratic sentiment in 1946 promoted equal participation of all the
faculty members into one unified collegial group. The reorganized faculty
started to offer some classes in the General Education Department (kyoyo
katei). Meanwhile, the graduate
program started to offer business administration courses in addition to the
previously established course work in theoretical economics or history of
economics, and economic policy. At that time, 35 students enrolled in the Master's
program and 18 students enrolled in the Doctoral program.
With 150 students, the undergraduate program had
thirteen primary areas of research unit (koza) after WWII, and four
management-related primary areas of research unit (koza) were added from 1953 to 1962. In
1959, the faculty established the Department of Business Administration, which
offered six primary areas of research unit (koza). In 1964, primary
areas of research unit (koza) were reshaped to show the major focus of
study: Principles of Economics, History of Economics, Monetary and Finance
Theories, Industrial Economic Theories, World Economic Theories, Principles of
Management, and Management Policy.
After the student movement era (1968-1978),
reorganization took place in the Faculty of Economics. In 1984, the Faculty
changed the curriculum structure into broader research unit (dai-koza), each
of them including several small primary areas of research unit (koza). Several professors in each broader
research unit (dai-koza) offered related subjects, such as management,
management policy, and analysis of marketing /accounting. From 1986 to 1990,
some new broader research units (dai-koza) were added: Theory of
Economics, Comparative Social and Economic Policy, History of Economics and
Philosophy, Regional Industry and Finance, Statistics and Information, and
Finance.
Since 1989, the Faculty's reorganization has been
directed toward an emphasis on a graduate school that is characterized by
internationalization and focus on the information age. The heightened emphasis
on graduate education became possible by shifting the official status of
faculty members from undergraduate toward graduate programs. In addition, four
divisions of study comprised of 11 broader research units (dai-koza) were
created. The number of Master's
students was set at 82, with 41 students in the Doctoral program. To make
possible the internationalization of the
In the teaching of the graduate program, the
Faculty collaborated with the staff of the Institute of Economic Research Kyoto
University. In 2006, the Faculty created Graduate School of Management in
collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering. and others. This is a
professional business school that trains students and provides them with Master
of Business Administration. Further, the Faculty collaborated with the Faculty
of Law in creating of Kyoto University School of Government.
Efforts at internationalization have meant
inviting more international scholars to the Faculty's academic events and
sending more students and faculty members to study abroad. In addition,
exchange programs have been officially established with schools overseas.
To meet the demands of the fast growing computer
and information age, the Faculty has developed extensive computer facilities. A
school-wide Internet environment was completed and state-of-the-art video
equipment made available with which class activities can be simultaneously
broadcast online. Databases and online library use are available to the
students and faculty members for their research activities.
Throughout the history of the Faculty, students
have been encouraged to conduct autonomous learning (jigaku jishu). According
to this philosophy, students are expected to exercise their own initiative in
situational analysis, problem solving, and independent judgment based on the synthesis
of knowledge. Academic freedom has
been always encouraged to help students become creative and professional
researchers.
The Faculty of Economics has served several sets
of distance learning system built on Gigabit-network and ISDN between
An affiliated association, Kyoto University Economic Society, is formed
to publish Keizai Ronso (The Economic Review) and its special issues, Chosa
to Kenkyu (The Research and Study).
The Kyoto University Economic Review, which has the longest
history as a Western language economics journal in
browse/ker. Further, to promote
the academic discussion over the research results of the staff,
As of early October 2008, the Faculty is comprised
of 31 professors, 15
associate professors, and 5 lecturer. In addition, 21 instructors from other universities
and institutions teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate programs. 1 research
associate works for the Economic Research Office.
The number of students currently enrolled in each category is as
follows:
Undergraduates -1,137 (38 from abroad)
Master's Program -74 (31 from abroad)
Doctoral program -169 (45 from abroad)
Auditors - 11 (0 from abroad)
Special auditors -2 (2 from abroad)
Research Students - 57 (53 from abroad)
Total: 1,450
(169 from abroad).
The Faculty's library possesses about 463,000
volumes, documents and periodicals, including the Georg von Mayr Library, the
Karl Bücher Library, the Takarabe Library, the Ueno Collection, and the
Kawakami Library. In addition, the
library possesses an extensive rare book collection consisting of about 9,700
volumes, many of which are parts of the aforementioned special
collections. The oldest book in the
collection is the 1482 edition of the first volume of Summae Theologicae by
St. Thomas Aquinas.
In addition, the faculty has the Economic Research
Office as an attached facility, which collects statistical data, materials, and
documents. It provides references
and documentation services for research activities.
The four-year undergraduate program is offered by
two departments: Department of Economics and Department of Business
Administration. A total of 124 credits are required for graduation (48 credits
from university-wide subjects, and 76 credits from subjects of the Faculty).
There are no required or elective courses. Taking a yearlong course could earn
4 credits, a half-year one 2 credits. Taking a seminar could earn eight credits
if one submits a senior thesis.
Seminars are available for sophomore through
senior students, and enrollment is limited to thirty students per class (10
from each academic level). Seminars are discussion-based classes whose topics
are decided by the professors who teach them. In some seminars, students are
offered opportunities to conduct field research, or to visit factories and
companies in the Kansai area. The senior thesis is directed by the respective
professor, but other faculty members take part in its evaluation too. In the
undergraduate program, classes taken at the Faculty of Law can be also
recognized as applicable toward degree requirements.
Special admission processes are offered to those
who graduated from overseas secondary schools and those who have earned
bachelor's degrees from other Faculties of Kyoto University or other
universities. Those admitted into a second bachelor's program can take only
economics courses in order to complete the degree, and that requires only two
years.
After graduation, about 90 percent of the students
find employment in the public and private sectors, especially in banks or
companies in finance, manufacturing, and commerce. Every year, about 20-30
students proceed on for postgraduate studies.
In its graduate program, in collaboration with the staff of the Economic
Research Institute,
Theoretical Economics, Applied Economics, Political Economy,
Economic Policy, Economic History and History of Social Thought, Management and
Accounting
After the creation of the Graduate School of
Management in 2006, the graduate program is united in the 5 year Doctoral
program. The first 2 years of this program is called the Master's program. In
this part of the graduate program, students have to acquire the basic knowledge
and the ability to make an original contribution in their further study. They
have to show their academic capability by submitting a Master's thesis.
However, it is possible to leave the graduate school after the 2 year Master's
program. On the other hand, those who acquired (or are going to acquire) a
Master's degree at other universities can take an examination to continue their
studies in our Doctoral program.
To receive a Master's degree, a student must earn 30 credits and submit a
Master's thesis. To complete the Doctoral program, a student is required to
submit yearly research plans and reports to his/her academic adviser, the
professor who provides guidance to him/her. In the final stage, a guiding
committee is formed to help the student completing his doctoral dissertation.
No credits are granted for the submitted reports. The procedures of submitting
a dissertation are explained in the
