Campus

The school expanded into Tokyo in 2005 and then Osaka in 2007. The Tokyo Marunouchi campus is located one minute away from the Japan Railways Tokyo Station. The Osaka satellite campus originally occupied space in Umeda but was later moved to the Grand Front Osaka in Umekita which is also one minute away from the city's major Japan Railways train station. Both satellite campuses were chosen for their location in commercial and finance districts and their proximity to major train stations.

Exchange Program

The school offers an English-taught exchange program and double degree program. Involving over fifty different business courses from full-time faculty as well as visiting professors from its partner schools, the program utilizes the case method to facilitate exchange between diverse student backgrounds and perspectives. Exchange students can enroll for programs as short as two months within the five-term academic year schedule. This is designed to allow students on an exchange program to not only study, but also travel across Japan for a well-rounded study abroad experience. The double degree program requires that students spend one year at the school and one year at one of their 174 partner schools.

Exchange and Double Degree Partners

As of 2023, the school had standing academic and student exchange agreements with 174 global partner institutions for post-graduate faculty exchange and student exchange.[7]
