Nagoya University of Commerce & Business (名古屋商科大学 Nagoya shōka daigaku?), abbreviated as NUCB, is a Japanese private university located in Nisshin, Aichi within the Tokai region of Japan. The founder of NUCB, Dr. Yuichi Kurimoto, was the first Japanese person to graduate from the University of Alberta in 1930. Originally established in March 1935 as the Nagoya Tetsudo Gakko, a vocational railway school, it was later reorganized under the newly formed Kurimoto Educational Institute in 1951.
By 1953, the school was chartered as the Nagoya University of Business and Commerce. The NUCB Graduate School began awarding MBA degrees in 2005. It soon expanded into additional campuses in Tokyo and Osaka. In 2006, NUCB was accredited by AACSB International (AACSB) and later by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) in 2009. Nagoya University of Commerce and Business is the first and only institution in Japan to be accredited by both accreditation boards. NUCB continued the pursuit of its internationalization goals with the grand opening of the Nagoya Marunouchi Campus Tower in downtown Nagoya in June 2015.
As one of the first Japanese citizens to study abroad in Canada, Dr. Yuichi Kurimoto enrolled into the University of Alberta in 1926. After graduating in 1930, he returned to Japan with the vision of making education accessible to the disenfranchised youth of the time. Following the post-war economic and population boom in the 1950s, he established the Nagoya University of Commerce and Business.
NUCB was formed under the principles the "Frontier Spirit." As the school motto, Frontier Spirit is defined as the 'spirit of that person who never gives up and who, by acting in an original manner, seeks to benefit humanity, society, and the nation. The fundamental nature of this spirit is this: through diligent endeavor it seeks to know itself and to grow. Independent thinking is its principal tool. This spirit regards the impossible to be possible. It operates on this principle, Where there is a will there is a way. Pioneers are always the founders of a new age. They rely not on others but on themselves alone. They don't borrow other persons' thoughts but trust their own knowledge. They yield to no difficulties. They are persons whose stout hearts and hale constitutions combine to open up new worlds.'
