Offering a curriculum founded on economic history, theory, and policy, the Graduate School of Economics also emphasizes practical fields such as applied economics in response to rapidly changing economic and social realities. The Graduate School is also strong in legal studies, and by taking specialized courses such as tax theory, students can be exempted from certain parts of the examinations for tax accountants. Many of our graduates take an active role as tax accountants. In our doctoral program, each candidate has a team of advisors who support the candidate in completing his or her dissertation. Candidates with academic ability equivalent or superior to that of graduates of the master's program may be admitted directly to the doctoral program.
