Osaka University of Economics (大阪経済大学おおさかけいざいだいがく, Ōsaka keizai daigaku), is a private university located in Higashiyodogawa-ku, Osaka, Japan.

History

[edit]

It was founded in 1932 as Naniwa Higher Commercial School (浪なみ華はな高等こうとう商業しょうぎょう学校がっこう[1]). A few years later, difficulties fell upon the school and it was about to be abolished. In 1935, with the large donation by Dr. Iwao Kokusho (黒くろ正せい巌いわお, 1895–1949), the school was revived as Showa Higher Commercial School (昭和しょうわ高等こうとう商業しょうぎょう学校がっこう[2]).

During World War II, most of the students were enlisted. So in 1944 Osaka Women's College of Economics (大阪女子おおさかじょし経済けいざい専門せんもん学校がっこう) was established instead. In 1946, after the war, the school was reorganized into Osaka College of Economics (大阪おおさか経済けいざい専門せんもん学校がっこう), a co-educational school.

In 1949, under Japan's new educational systems, Osaka College of Economics was developed into four-year Osaka University of Economics.

At first OUE had one faculty: Faculty of Economics. OUE added faculties as follows:

  • 1964: Faculty of Business Administration
  • 1966: Graduate School (Master's degree course in Economics)
