The Sophia University Faculty of Economics is one of the oldest academic units at Sophia University. At the time of its establishment in 1913, Sophia University consisted of three departments, Philosophy, German Literature, and Commerce. The original Department of Commerce has since been reorganized as the current Faculty of Economics.
To briefly look back at the changes since then, in 1931, Department of Economics was added to Faculty of Commerce, and in 1948, Faculty of Commerce was renamed Faculty of Economics, and in 1968, Department of Commerce was renamed Department of Management.
In recent years, we have established master’s and doctoral programs at the Graduate School of Economics and are actively working on programs such as Faculty of Economics English program, the SPSF program (Sophia Program for Sustainable Futures), and collaborative courses with companies and other universities.
