MBA Program(full time,flex-time)
The MBA program of the Graduate School of International Management is offered as a full time program and a flextime program. The full time program is targeted at individuals with 2 years or more of job experience, and consists mainly of day classes offered Monday through Friday. The flextime program targets individuals with 3 or more years of job experience and allows students to learn about business in night classes and on Saturdays while working from Monday to Friday.

For the flextime program, in addition to a 2 year system, a 3 year system is also available. Excluding differences in the amount of required years of job experience, only the class terms and times differ between the full time program and flextime program. The actual structure of the curriculum is almost exactly the same for both programs.

The MBA program of the Graduate School of International Management employs a learning program which is based on course work, and does not require submission of a master's thesis.

The MBA curriculum consists of the following subjects.

100 Required basic Courses:Gain fundamental knowledge in each management field
In the Graduate School of International Management, the spring semester of the first year is devoted to compulsory subjects ("100" level subjects). These compulsory subjects are divided into 5 fields required for corporate management (management, marketing, accounting, finance, operations, and information systems) and are made up of corporate ethics, management, economics, organization theory, and statistics. By first completing these foundation courses, students gain an understanding of the basic concepts and framework of each management field and the skills necessary to comprehend future educational content and learning methods in each field.


200 Electives basics Courses:Acquire methodology, an international viewpoint, communication skills, etc.
From the fall semester of the first year through the second year, students following the basic curriculum ("200" level subjects) learn methodologies covering common basic knowledge of the 5 fields listed above and develop qualities essential for business such as a high level of ethics and an international viewpoint.


300 Manegement Elective courses:Acquire specialized expertise in management fields
The period of time from the fall semester of the first year through the second year is devoted to major courses ("300" level subjects). Students select 1 major from among 5 speciality fields (management, marketing, accounting, finance, operations, information systems). By acquiring a wealth of knowledge about their selected major, the students are able to strengthen their expertise. Students complete courses outside of their own majors as well, enabling the cultivation of a wide span of knowledge and a rich viewpoint suitable for a management professional.


Other Professional School Courses
At Aoyama Gakuin University, in addition to the Graduate School of International Management, two Professional Schools of the legal studies department (Graduate School of Law) and the accounting profession studies department (Graduate School of Professional Accountancy) are available. Students of the Graduate School of International Management can choose to complete courses from the curriculum of these Professional Schools. Accounting profession studies department courses are counted as professional curriculum credits in the "300" level subject range, and legal studies department courses are counted as credits in the "400" level subject range.
