About MiM Program
The Master in Management (MiM) provides overall management knowledge. The duration of the program is generally one year. MiM students typically are recent college graduates and have limited business or work experience. The MBA provides theoretical and practical training for business or investment management and is usually a two-year program. The typical MBA student has several years of work experience in a business-related field.
MiM classes are offered only in-person.
MiM classes start in August every year with a one-week mandatory orientation.
Eligibility

If you have completed a three-year bachelor’s degree, it needs to be followed by a master’s degree OR a postgraduate diploma. Please see degree requirements by country.
Yes. Please submit your official academic transcript when you apply and again once you are accepted and have completed your undergraduate degree.
Yes. You will need to submit either a GMAT or GRE test score when you apply.

New Student Merit Scholarships
The MiM program offers three kinds of scholarships: Early Admission scholarship, Global Leaders scholarship, and Temple Alumni Rewards. Please check financial aid page.
No, a full scholarship is not available. TUJ is an American University, so the MEXT scholarship cannot be used.
Visa
Yes. All non-Japanese students who do not have a resident, diplomatic, dependent, spousal or other type of visa must acquire a Japanese student visa through TUJ. TUJ will submit the visa application documents to the Japanese Immigration Bureau on your behalf. Students cannot apply for a Japanese student visa independently.
Housing
TUJ dorms are for undergraduate students. MiM students are responsible for finding their own accommodations. The MiM program provides information on housing options and how to find them through English-speaking realtors/properties.
