Takasaki City University of Economics

Takasaki City University of Economics (高崎経済大学) is a municipal public university in Takasaki, Gunma, Japan.

History
After World War II, the national colleges in Gunma Prefecture were merged to constitute Gunma University in Maebashi. Takasaki City wanted to invite the faculty of economics of the Gunma University to occupy the facilities of former Gunma Youth Normal School, near Takasaki Castle. However, the school facilities were estimated too poor in quality, and no part of the Gunma University was settled in Takasaki.

In 1952 Takasaki City established its own municipal college - Takasaki City Junior College (高崎市立短期大学), a college with two-year courses in economics and business. In 1957 the college was developed into Takasaki City University of Economics. At first TCUE had one department: Department of Economics (Faculty of Economics). TCUE added departments and graduate schools as follows:
 * 1964: Department of Business Management (a part of Faculty of Economics)
 * 1996: Department of Regional Policy (Faculty of Regional Policy)
 * 2000: Graduate School of Regional Policy (master's courses)
