Welcome to the Hill of Mita
Upon leaving the Hiyoshi Forest, you will make your way to the Hill of Mita, where the trees of economics grow in abundance.
At Mita, you will climb the hill while exploring three major fields (core pillars): "Economic Theory," "Economic History," and "Economic Policy." Changes in economic conditions and the reactions of people or companies to those changes actually follow certain rules. The field of "Economic Theory" aims to clarify these rules. On the other hand, people's lifestyles and the mechanisms and development of activities such as manufacturing goods and exchanging them for money have varied greatly across eras and regions. The field of "Economic History" clarifies these aspects in concrete terms. Furthermore, the field of "Economic Policy" applies the knowledge uncovered by "Economic Theory" and "Economic History" to solve the problems we face today. Understanding economic rules and history and thinking deeply about them not only helps prevent mistakes in national policy and corporate decision-making but is also vital for protecting and enriching our lives.
To help you climb efficiently and in a balanced manner, the hill features signposts (Core Courses) that divide the fields into more detailed segments. However, we want you to explore to your heart's content whenever you find a place that interests you. To that end, we provide many opportunities to learn about specific issues in depth or timely topics (Specialized Courses), venues for thorough discussions with peers, and opportunities to deepen your knowledge so that you can succeed anywhere in the world.
"Welcome to the Hill of Mita"... By the time you have finished climbing the Hill of Mita, you will be able to take a powerful step forward into your respective career paths with confidence in your intellectual stamina.
