Significance of Entering the Master's Program and Features of the Graduate School of Business Administration
The Graduate School of Business Administration of Toyo Gakuen University was established in April 2008. We adopted the educational policy of the Faculty of Business Administration, which was established earlier, on the graduate-school level. We provide students with advanced training for acquiring academic and practical skills and knowledge, aiming to develop and send to society sophisticated human resources who will prove competent in the contemporary world. While we only have the master’s program, it is designed to improve students’ comprehensive research capability through constructive learning and acquisition of data analysis skills related to theories and practices of business administration and economics. This is aimed at allowing students to make attempts at types of jobs which were not included in their options when they completed undergraduate programs.
The present age is filled with uncertainties, and it is important to have various experiences while also enhancing your expertise. The Graduate School of Business Administration attracts students with various backgrounds and has an atmosphere that leads them to share diverse ideas. In addition, jointly with the Faculty of Business Administration, we host the Executive Lecture Series, or lectures given in person by top managers of companies. Further, we have introduced in our curriculum a Certified Financial Planner® (CFP®) Certification Education Program. Those who have completed this program are entitled to take a qualifying examination for CFP®. We hope that students will make full use of this environment and develop their qualities as leaders of business and various other communities.
To work actively and successfully in the era of high uncertainty, you must have capabilities of applying your thoughts and ideas flexibly and creating paths to your original solutions. I believe that four years of undergraduate education is found insufficient in various settings. I am happy if you understand the significance of upgrading yourself through highly specialized education that we provide at the Graduate School of Business Administration.
All of us faculty members look forward to meeting new students with high aspirations.
Missions
- As an institution for fostering researchers and other experts, we contribute to the local and global communities by meeting the demand to develop professionals with a high level of expertise.

Advantages
Issues in society have been growing increasingly diverse, sophisticated, and complicated. This has resulted in a greater need for specialized knowledge. To develop human resources who will play the leading role in addressing those issues, we provide practical education in small classes. Our students learn the theory and practice of business in the center of Tokyo. The Graduate School of Business Administration of Toyo Gakuen University has the following strengths:
