Overview of the Global MBA Program:

• GMBA is a 1.5-year program, meaning students entering September 2025 will graduate in March 2027. (We are one of the few programs in Japan to adopt the much-discussed switch to an autumn start of the academic year.)
• There are four 7-week quarters a year, meaning only about half the year is spent in classes. And for those classes, the course schedule is set up to allow weeknight and Saturday daytime classes, making it possible to study while working during the weekday. (Also, the student visa permits foreign nationals to work up to 28 hours per week.)
• The program is entirely in English, but as it is run alongside our two Japanese MBAs (1-year and 2-year programs), Japanese MBA courses may also be taken, and students from the Global and Japanese Programs interact freely. (Japanese language study is also available, free of charge.)
• For students not engaged in full-time work as regular employees, the Program has two internship project programs: group projects with NPOs and regional government agencies in Year 1, and individual projects with business enterprises in Year 2.?(Students who study while continuing as regular employees do practical study projects instead.)
• The Business School is located in the heart of Tokyo, in Ichigaya ??

• Those who wish to gain practical experience through internships
• Those looking for a way to start a career involving Japan, as Japanese language is not a requirement for entry — Japanese language study and courses in Japanese are available
• Those in Japan who are interested in gaining overseas experience but need to be in Japan — the GMBA program provides an immersive international experience in Japan
