Graduate School of Business Administration

A requirement of applicants to the Graduate School of Business Administration is that they have upon acceptance at least two years experience working in the business world. To receive a complete education in business that goes beyond the conventional curriculum of a traditional graduate program, the Graduate School of Business Administration believes that students must have a certain amount of business experience.

Developing human resources is the greatest challenge facing companies today. Comprehensive creativity to discover promising areas in a rapidly changing economy, formulating plans, and submitting and carrying out proposals are indispensable skills for business in the twenty-first century. A unique feature of the graduate program for working adults (MBA degree) is that it fosters true generalists with the ability to envision a business comprehensively. For example, in the required subject Business Simulation, students use the actual activities and data of an existing corporation to acquire the sense, knowledge, and experience needed to establish their own business.

The Graduate School of Business Administration provides evening and Saturday classes as well as daytime classes to ensure that working students can complete their course of study. The School launched a doctoral program (DBA) in April 2007.
