The university has a strong commitment to excellence in case method teaching and research and has developed alliances with international institutions in Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America. In 2006, NUCB Undergraduate School became the first AACSB-accredited undergraduate institution in Japan and has maintained it to date through high standards and continuous improvement. AACSB-accredited schools have better programs, better faculty, better students with higher overall GPAs, more international students, more employers that recruit from them, and graduates that receive better salaries. NUCB Business School, our Graduate School of Management, is the first and only Japanese business school to be accredited by AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS, and thus, achieving the renowned Triple Crown.
