What MBA Programs Are Supposed to Be About
Kiezik certainly walks the walk. Disconcerted at what he perceived as insufficient “volunteering and student engagement” in the business school, he co-organized the school’s first student society and served as its inaugural president. His initiative carried him in his final semester into an internship at the start-up enterprise Eaglys and later into the role of that company’s director of global business development.
Networking opportunities are the first of Waseda Business School’s virtues that roll off Kiezik’s lips. “The student body is pretty international, and the talent is topflight. Networking is what MBA programs are supposed to be about, and Waseda presents all sorts of opportunities for forging ties with counterparts from all over Asia. If doing business in Asia is part of your career vision, this is the place to be.”
“Price point” is another compelling advantage for Waseda Business School that Kiezik cites. “Here we have a world-class MBA program, while the tuition is about a sixth of that of the best U.S. MBA programs.”
