Meiji University Business School (MBS) is the first business school in Japan to receive EPAS accreditation in 2018 from EFMD, a prestigious accreditation body for business schools (headquarters: Brussel, Belgium) and renewed it in 2021.
EFMD Accredited is a system to accredit a business school programme. The EPAS review board consisting of multi-national specialists assesses via 80 items as internationality, syllabus, strategies, quality of education and research of the programme. According to the assessment, the EFMD
Programme Accreditation Board comprised of business schools and corporations from more than ten countries makes the final decision.
We believe that MBS has been accredited as an EFMD Accredited MBA programme due to the installation of clusters specialized for education on the operation of family businesses and start-up businesses, clarification of ILOs (intended learning outcomes), offering of specialized courses in English, installation of credited, short overseas field studies for students, an excellent instructional system from professors to students, appropriate management and operation of the school based on a long-term plan all of which are based on Meiji University grand design.
We will continue to proactively interact with business schools with EFMD memberships from all over the world and exchange information, in order to solidify our position so that the MBA education offered by MBS meets or exceeds international standards in comprehensive practical education as well as in the specialized fields of family businesses and start-up businesses.
