Faculty

The faculty at Waseda Business School maintain a healthy balance of academic rigor and practical relevance. Some faculty members have developed their skills by following traditional academic paths (e.g. earning a PhD) while others have entered academia after enjoying extremely successful careers in industry. Mindful of our obligations to the next generation of leaders, all faculty members are passionate about teaching and learning and we consider the competencies that students acquire through the curriculum to be an important measure of our success.
