I’m not very active on Reddit (this was originally a throwaway account but I’ve kept it for use for other questions such as this one).
I’m an American who just turned 27 and graduated college about two years ago with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. I decided even before I graduated that I wanted to get into international business and/or politics, particularly with Asia, and I also hope to live in Japan some day.
That, combined with the fact that one of my biggest regrets during college is not doing an abroad program in Japan before the pandemic (I did do one in Korea during it), along with the fact that I’ve had no luck landing a corporate or marketing related job in the states (I’m only getting by due to an online job as an influencer and from my parents), I’m been looking at MBA programs in Japan, but haven’t had much luck with them either.
I’ve applied to Sophia University twice, and both times I got rejected. I’ve considered Waseda, Rikkyo, and ICU, but lately I’ve heard Globis is decent too.
Anyway, I’m just looking for advice and suggestions, and if an MBA in Japan would be good for what I want to do. I’m not fluent in Japanese but am in the process of learning it, but I am also considering MBA programs in China or South Korea if anyone knows of any good ones.
