A FULL TIME MBA WHILE CONTINUING YOUR WORK

McGill MBA Japan is a two-year, 60-credit program delivered in Japan. It is structured to allow candidates to complete an MBA degree in International Management, General Management or Finance while maintaining full-time employment. The academic year begins in June and ends the following May. Classes are scheduled two weekends per month (Saturday and Sunday) throughout the year from 9 am to 5 pm.

The academic contents and standards of the program are identical to those of McGill University’s MBA Program in Montreal, Canada. McGill MBA Japan courses are taught by professors and adjunct professors flown in from McGill’s Desautels Faculty of Management to teach on the Yotsuya Campus of Sophia University in downtown Tokyo.

The refreshed McGill MBA curriculum focuses on maximizing student preparation for future careers through a streamlined, modular Core and an updated selection of concentrations. Emphasizing the significant research and teaching strengths of McGill's international faculty while responding to current business imperatives, the curriculum offers an integrated multi-disciplinary, problem-solving approach grounded in practice. Advanced management concepts are integrated with case studies and examples to ground theory in the real world.

McGill MBA Japan students also have the opportunity to study in Montreal and China.
