Overview
Nagaoka University is a private university in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, run by the Chuetsu Gakuen school corporation.
The school's roots go back to a private school for girls founded in 1905, and the corporation opened Nagaoka Women's Junior College in 1971, renamed Nagaoka Junior College and made coeducational in 1973. The university itself opened in April 2001 as the Faculty of Industrial Management, was renamed the Faculty of Economics and Management in 2007, and the junior college was abolished in 2002.
The faculty now has a single Department of Economics and Management, established in 2014 after earlier departments stopped recruiting. In the first year students take required subjects covering the basics of economics, management and information, and from the second year they choose one of four courses: Regional Economics and Policy Design, Management and Marketing Strategy, Accounting and Corporate Finance, or Digital Business and Innovation.
The university supports qualification study, works with local companies and municipalities, and runs a regional research centre and a lifelong learning programme.
