This program trains experts with combined knowledge in financial engineering and finance relationships and knowledge of accounting. This program is primarily intended for people who already possess specialized qualifications, such as certified public accountants and securities analysts, or professional careers related to accounting and finance.

By developing specialist skills that span the fields of both finance and accounting, we will train certified public accountants with strong skills in finance and financial experts with accounting expertise. Simultaneously, we aim to develop human resources with advanced knowledge of accounting and finance, who are active in private organizations and non-profit organizations.
In response to changes in the conditions of the Japanese economy and Japanese companies, it has become necessary to train experts in finance-related fields and high-level financial personnel with accounting knowledge. It is essential to provide a context in which certified public accountants, tax accountants and other specialists can receive training to advance their finance expertise and in which analysts and other financial personnel who are already active in the career field can receive training to further their accounting expertise. We are conducting a selection examination for admission to a special course in October for those who are already active as professionals, including certified public accountants, tax accountants, analysts, actuaries, and people who have worked in a Financial Services Agency or on projects involving national taxes, to complete the new MBA education program that was created in response to this demand. We look forward to the pleasure of seeing these professionals challenge themselves.
