Japanese: 小樽商科大学 - おたるしょうかだいがく
Otaru University of Commerce

A national university corporation. It was originally founded in 1910 as Otaru Higher Commercial School. It was renamed Otaru College of Economics in 1944, and was promoted to a university under the new system in 1949. At the time, it was the only single-faculty commercial college in a national university with only a Faculty of Commerce. It has four departments (Economics, Commerce, Corporate Law, and Social Information Studies). The junior college department, which was established in 1952, was reorganized in 1991 along with all departments of the Faculty of Commerce, and courses were established that were mainly taught at night. It aims to develop human resources with an emphasis on internationalism and law. It has a graduate school of commerce (doctoral course). It has been sending excellent human resources to the business world all over the country since before the Second World War, and is also known for having writers such as Takiji Kobayashi and Sei Ito as its alumni. In April 2004, it became a national university corporation with the enforcement of the National University Corporation Act. The address is 3-5-21 Midori, Otaru, Hokkaido.

国立大学法人。1910年(明治43)に創設された小樽高等商業学校が前身。1944年(昭和19)に小樽経済専門学校と改称され、1949年(昭和24)新制大学に昇格した。当時、商学部だけを置く国立大学ただ一つの商科系単科大学であった。4学科(経済学、商学、企業法学、社会情報学)を置く。1952年に併設された短期大学部は、1991年(平成3)商学部の全学科とともに改組され、おもに夜間に授業を行うコースを設置。国際性と法学に重点を置いた人材の育成を目標にしている。大学院商学研究科(博士課程)が設置されている。第二次世界大戦前から全国の経済界に優れた人材を送ってきたが、卒業生に小林多喜二(たきじ)、伊藤整らの作家がいることでも知られている。2004年(平成16)4月、国立大学法人法の施行に伴い、国立大学法人となる。所在地は北海道小樽市緑3-5-21。
