history

The university was founded in 1910 as the Otaru Higher Commercial School ( 小樽 高等 商業 学校 , Otaru kōtō shōgyō gakkō ), the fifth state higher commercial school (or commercial college, Japanese kōtō shōgyō gakkō ) in Japan after Tokyo (1887), Kobe (1902), Yamaguchi (Feb. 1905) and Nagasaki (March 1905). Before the Pacific War , there was no humanities or social science college in Hokkaidō, so the commercial college served as the only higher education institution in the study areas. In 1944 it was renamed Otaru Business School ( 小樽 経 済 専 門 学校 , Otaru keizai semmon gakkō ).

In 1949 it developed into the Otaru Commercial College . In 1971 she founded the Graduate School (Master’s courses; doctorate since 2007). In 1997, she set up a satellite campus in Sapporo from the Graduate School for the Business People.
