University Executive School

Business Overview

This project has been held since 2010 as a study group for university executives, including the presidents of member schools.
In the meantime, SD became mandatory due to the revision of the Standards for the Establishment of Universities in April 2017, and while university executives are required to provide training not only for FD but also for university management in general, the name of this project was changed to “University Executive School” in 2018, and it is being implemented on themes related to university management in general.
