For the second year in a row, Anaheim University's MBA programs were ranked #1 in Japan's Nikkei Business Publications' annual rankings for the professional expertise of AU's MBA faculty. The nationally accredited California-based Anaheim University Akio Morita School of Business, named in honor of the late Sony Founder, was placed 1st in 3 major categories.
The University and Graduate School Guide, published by Japan's leading Business and Economic publisher, the Nikkei BP, looks at 78 graduate business schools that operate programs in Japan. Scoring a perfect 100% in all 3 of its categories, Anaheim University was ranked alongside Temple University Japan who outranked their rivals in the Japanese press and retained their positions at the top of the board.
The School of Business offers three MBA tracks ranging from 100% online with its Online Global and Online Green MBA (MBA in Sustainable Management) programs to the Professional MBA's blended learning format through which students in Japan combine online study with face-to-face group study sessions at the Akio Morita Learning Center, based on the Sony Founder's former estate in Tokyo, Japan. Professional MBA students also have the opportunity to take part in a short-term Advanced Project Management study program taught on the campus of Stanford University by professors in the Stanford Center for Professional Development in (Palo Alto) Stanford, California.
In addition to its esteemed faculty, Anaheim University provides its MBA students access to live seminars and webcasts with business leaders from such global companies as Nissan, Accenture, FedEx, Body Glove, British Airways, Exxon Mobil, Leo Burnett, Zappos, SAP, Entrepreneur Media, Belkin, Audi, Toshiba and Union Bank of California.
"We are very pleased that Anaheim University is continuing to be recognized as a leading business school in Asia with our Online International MBA, Professional MBA and Online Green MBA enrolling business professionals from over 40 countries worldwide. We are extremely proud of our faculty, who were ranked #1 for their academic credentials combined with business expertise, and for the leadership of the Dean of our School of Business, Dr. Andrew Honeycutt, who earned his Doctorate in Business Administration from Harvard's prestigious Business School," said AU Chief Communications Officer David Bracey
