TECHNOLOGY
Technology improvements in the last three academic years:
As the technology moving towards virtualization, last summer we replaced the e-business Lab workstations with Virtual boot capabilities and also with energy efficient. We installed a new terminal Server in our network as an initiative to the virtualization of the campus in future by providing the campus desktop experience to the student from anywhere. We also upgraded all the domain and database servers with Quad Core Processors and created a small computer network with high end processors for the mobile programming.

SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
One of the biggest strengths of the IUJ MBA program lies in the fact that its curriculum focuses on the integration of real-world challenges into classrooms. IUJ has several major Japanese and Multinational corporations commit to joint research projects with its students and faculty. Students acquire not only the fundamental MBA skills but the extra knowledge of how these can actually be applied to actual business challenges. A highly multi-cultural, English-speaking campus is located in the beautiful countryside of Japan, yet only 90-minutes from Tokyo by bullet train.
