Engaging with classmates from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds has constantly challenged my thinking and broadened the way I approach complex problems. These daily interactions go far beyond the classroom, creating a dynamic space where ideas are questioned, refined, and enriched through multiple perspectives. Equally impactful has been the openness of the faculty, who actively encourage students to explore, test, and discuss their own projects and ideas.<br \/>\nThis culture of intellectual curiosity fosters both confidence and creativity, allowing students to take ownership of their learning journey. Finally, the opportunity to take courses in both English and Japa nese has been a defining aspect of my experience. It has enabled me to develop business acumen across two distinct cultural and systemic environments, strengthening both my analytical skills and my ability to operate in a truly global context.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u203bThis information is as of July 2026<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/en\/applicants\/why\/imba\">International MBA Program<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/en\/about\/student\">Back<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"addicn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/about\/students\">\u5b66\u751f\u7d39\u4ecb\u4e00\u89a7\u306b\u623b\u308b<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0International MBA Program Learning Across Cultures, Thinking Without Boundaries My experience at Waseda Busin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16607,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16606"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16609,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16606\/revisions\/16609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fcom\/wbs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
