Globalizing the Economics Curriculum: A View from Japan

Scott M. Fuess

The American Economist, 2001, vol. 45, issue 2, 40-50

Abstract: In recent years Japanese universities have been under pressure to internationalize their curricula and make undergraduate studies more cross-disciplinary. Many “reforms†have involved simple adjustments to existing programs; only a few institutions have gone so far as to develop entirely new programs of study. Senshu University, a leading private university in Tokyo, has undertaken a bold commitment to use economics as a foundation for integrated global studies. Senshu's experience suggests that there is an important role for using economic studies to internationalize undergraduate education.
