Would anyone know which has the best program/great reputation or if you could suggest other good universities? Other points for consideration are the location, scholarship opps.. also, i'm used to hot weather and so while i like iuj's program i'm kinda worried about the cold (i read the snow in winter reaches up to 2 or 3 metres deep!)
waiting for your reps, doumo arigatou in advance!  |
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time getting an MBA in Japan. Is there a reason you want to get your MBA here other than a desire to experience Japan and Japanese culture?
The one thing that most Japanese universities have in common is that their educational standards are universally low (unlike their primary education standards). It's exceedingly difficult to pass the university entrance exams here, but once in you'll find that the actual opportunities to learn and excel are few and far between. You'll learn more at a garden-variety American university than you will at a top school in Japan.
If you want to use your MBA to get a job, then you should get into the best American school you can find/afford. You'll actually learn something for all the tuition money you spend, and finding work after you finish will be much easier.
Be realistic.
