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.
