CURRICULUM

1.CURRICULUM STRUCTURE

The HUB-SBA Management Analysis curriculum consists of lecture courses and seminar courses.

①LECTURES（CORE COURSES AND ELECTIVE COURSES）

Core courses cover the standard and basic material required for the program. Elective courses provide a venue for acquisition of high-level, expert knowledge or skills and discussions on the ever-changing corporate environment.

②SEMINARS（ANALYSIS OF CLASSICS AND WORKSHOPS）

The seminar courses consist of two mandatory topics: The program’s own business-management literacy education, which promotes the ability to read, write, and think and English communication courses to advance international communication skills. (In the program for foreign students, Japanese language courses are mandatory in place of English Communication).
In the 2nd year, students join workshops organized by subject and can explore in depth research topics that interest them.

2. DIALOGUE BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE

The HUB-SBA emphasizes a 'dialogue between theory and practice,' wherein the wealth of theoretical insight gleaned from lectures can inform real-world business practice. Such applications of theory may be expedient and unproblematic, however, in other cases, the application can be more challenging. At such times, the interaction between theory and real-world practice provides insights that can lead to a reconsideration of the theory and the appropriateness of its application. In this way, theory and practice are in dialogue and each is instrumental in the development of the other.
