Message from the Dean

YCU's origin can be traced back to the Yokohama School of Commerce, which was founded in 1882 just after the port of Yokohama was open. Students at YCU learn problem-solving management skills, based on our principle 'developing talent through relationships'. We capitalize on our broad network of alumni currently active in the business world, and our location in one of the major global commercial hubs in Japan.
