Bachelor in Dept. of Economics(SPSF)

Sophia University's Dept. of Economics, part of its SPSF track, is a four-year bachelor's degree taught in English, with intake each September in Tokyo. Sophia describes itself as one of Japan's top private universities, citing strength in undergraduate teaching, graduate programs, and a competitive research environment; the university reports 1,148 international students from more than 60 countries, with faculty drawn from more than 20 countries. The economics program covers core areas of economic theory and analysis, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and international economics, with students building quantitative and analytical skills alongside a broader understanding of how economies function domestically and globally. Students typically progress from foundational economics coursework toward more specialized electives in areas such as development economics, trade, finance, or Japanese and Asian economic issues, often supported by Sophia's international faculty and student body, which brings a comparative perspective to economic study. Because instruction is delivered in English, the program is designed for international students who have not yet studied in Japanese, while placing them within a Japanese university with a substantial international community in Tokyo. Graduates of economics programs are typically prepared for careers in finance, banking, consulting, government economic policy, and international business, as well as for further graduate study in economics, finance, or related quantitative social science fields.
