Waseda University
Graduate School of Business and Finance (Waseda Business School)
International MBA Program
This is a full-time, two-year program designed to provide an abundance of international exposure with the objective of educating students to become global business leaders. The School provides a balanced offering of courses in both English and Japanese languages. English-based students (students who will mainly study in English) will be admitted in September and Japanese-based students (students who will mainly study in Japanese) in April. It offers bilingual Japanese-English courses taken by both Japanese-based and English-based students, intensive courses provided overseas, and abundant study abroad opportunities. As part of the foreign language requirements, students are encouraged to take core courses which are taught in their secondary language (i.e., English for Japanese-based students, Japanese for English-based students), as well as language-learning courses.

| Additional Information | The International MBA Program, upon admission, provides unique learning environment through Zemi (Seminar). Unlike capstone courses and workshop-style seminars, the Zemi engages students longitudinally. Supervised by a professor, students are enrolled in their Zemi courses for the length of their enrollment, engaging in interactive, discussion-based class work with a small number of their peers with similar research interests. In addition to the in-class work, this small unit goes out for field work and extracurricular activities, developing a special bond as a cohort which often interacts with other zemi as well as alumni. Students are expected to gain the skills and methodology to conduct their research, deepen their academic/professional insights, and improve rational problem-solving techniques through the overall Zemi activities. Their MBA Degree Thesis represents the capstone of their academic work at IMBA. |
