The school offers an English-taught exchange program and double degree program. Involving over fifty different business courses from full-time faculty as well as visiting professors from its partner schools, the program utilizes the case method to facilitate exchange between diverse student backgrounds and perspectives. Exchange students can enroll for programs as short as two months within the five-term academic year schedule. This is designed to allow students on an exchange program to not only study, but also travel across Japan for a well-rounded study abroad experience. The double degree program requires that students spend one year at the school and one year at one of their 138 partner schools.
