On a rainy Thursday morning March 21st, which also marked the Spring Equinox, the graduates of the Class of 2019 gathered in Nisshin for the ceremony which marks the end of an important chapter in their lives. Representing the NUCB Business School, Graduate School of Management, 123 graduates received their degrees of completion for the MSc, MBA or EMBA programs. Congratulations to all those students who have successfully completed their degrees and now embark on a new chapter of professional and personal growth with their experiences in hand.

Over the past few years the Global Leader Program at the NUCB Business School has been expanding in cohort size, student quality and overall reputation. In 2015, the program consisted of only 35 degree students compared to the current status of the program which boasts 72 degree students as of April 2019. The quality of students has increased in nearly all areas as well – incoming students have higher undergraduate GPAs, higher GMAT scores, more diverse backgrounds by nationality and life experiences and longer tenures of work experience for the MBA degree students. The reputation of the program has grown itself through a stable position in the QS Global MBA rank as well as benefitting from the development of the graduate school of management with the successful ranking of the EMBA in the QS Global EMBA rank and Financial Times.

These new alumni have a lot to be proud of and even more to look forward to as the school continues to exert its own Frontier Spirit!

The NUCB Business School has 113 elite global partner institutions in 51 countries around the world. As the most globally oriented business school in Central Japan and one of the top leading business schools in all of Japan, the emphasis on study abroad and international exchange is a key driver of the mission at the NUCB Business School.
