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 - , 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) • 2002: Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration (master's courses) • 2002: Graduate School of Regional Policy (doctoral courses) • 2003: Department of Regional Development (a part of Faculty of Regional Policy) • 2004: Graduate School of Economics and Business Administration (doctoral courses) • 2006: Department of Tourism (a part of Faculty of Regional Policy) == Undergraduate schools ==
