Graduate School of International Management, International University of Japan, (IUJ) – Niigata, Japan
The Graduate School of International Management (GSIM) at the International University of Japan (IUJ) was originally established in 1988 in collaboration with the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College, a member of the prestigious US Ivy League. Since its foundation, the GSIM has gone on to develop its own distinctive curriculum with a special Japan-Asia perspective.
Extracurricular activities include the opportunity to participate in the Graduate Student Organization (GSO), representing student interests in non-academic matters. Weekends may be spent by participating in local community events and activities. In addition, the IUJ sports facilities allow students to participate in a wide range of athletic activities including basketball, volleyball, soccer, training, aerobics, karate, table tennis and softball. IUJ's multi-cultural orientation provides an exceptional opportunity to mix with and learn from each other. IUJ students bring home with them new perspectives along with joyful memories of events they participated in around the campus and communities.
