History
[edit]Originally established in 2004, Doshisha Business School began solely with a Master of Business Administration programme in Japanese (now abbreviated to JMBA), but commenced a Global MBA program (GMBA) in which all classes are provided in English, in 2009.[2] In October 2014, the Global MBA became an independent degree program within DBS approved by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.[3] On October 18, 2023, Doshisha Business School obtained international accreditation for its MBA program from AMBA (The Association of MBAs: United Kingdom).
