There is a star in the north small but shining brilliantly
This quote has long been used to describe OUC, an institution that has kept its fame during almost 100 years of academic achievement and distinguished graduates.
Learning in the Local Community
Otaru University of Commerce has maintained its small size, enabling it to have close communication within its academic community and within the prefecture. This characteristic enables OUC to offer courses in which students work on projects with local people.
Learning in a Global Context
OUC also emphasizes global education based on the truth that there are no borders in business. OUC offers various programs and courses for study abroad. In 2015, OUC launched the Glocal Management Minor Program, which provides more opportunities for students to study in an international environment.
