The MBA; Non-Thesis focuses on both hard and soft key management disciplines and skills in its required courses. Integration of the material in the required courses is accomplished with integration sessions at the end of the core. The academic content of the MBA Japan Program is the same as the Montreal MBA; however, the delivery of the content is modified to allow students to complete a Master of Business Administration degree on weekends in Japan.
Existing description: The McGill MBA Japan program is a weekend MBA program based on the world-leading Integrative MBA program offered by McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management in Montreal. Students will follow a lockstep program. MBA Japan classes take place at the Learning Edge Nishi-shinjuku Campus on the 4th floor of Nomura Fudosan Nishi-shinjuku building.
MBA Japan; Non-Thesis

The rationale for this program revision is:
• To streamline the structure of required courses(core) with 1.5 credit courses for each topic.
• To integrate the subject matter in a separatecourse within the core semester rather than in-course with varying credit weight integratedcourses combining core topics which areunwieldy
• To align the MBA Japan Program to the Montreal MBA curriculum.

Master of Business Administration (MBA Japan)
Program revision – Executive Summary
The faculty of Management revised its MBA program requirements starting with the 2020-2021 academic
year. In particular, they introduced a flexible-length program that lets students complete the MBA
requirements in a shorter period of time. The new program “de-integrates” several co-taught classes into
individual subject-matter classes, to make it easier to update course syllabi to keep pace with research and
practice. It adds several new courses, such as an experiential course and a course on leadership &
professional skills, in line with student and market demand.
The Desautels Faculty of Management offers a Master of Business Administration in Japan. Students are
admitted based on the same criteria used for the class in Montreal, and the course material is delivered
through intensive weekend classes to students who continue to work while pursuing their degree.
Under Japanese law, McGill offers this program as the “Japanese campus of a foreign university.”
Compliance with that law involves offering the same program requirements through the Japanese campus
as through the foreign one. This means that, since we revised the MBA program requirements last year,
we must now revise the MBA Japan program requirements to bring them in line with what was approved
for the Montreal campus.
The Japanese academic year starts in April, and foreign universities have a one-year grace period to bring
programs into sync to reflect these calendar differences. Thus this revision would come into effect for the
cohort who will start the program in April 2021.
For a major program revision, this executive summary is short. That reflects the content of this revision:
we are simply bringing this program into harmony with the revisions to the primary MBA program that
SCTP approved in the spring of 2019.
