The Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy (大学院 国際企業戦略研究科 Daigakuin Kokusai Kigyō Senryaku Kenkyūka?), also known by an acronym ICS, is the graduate business school of Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo, Japan. It is also referred to as "Hitotsubashi ICS". ICS is the first "professional graduate school" (formerly "specialized graduate school") established in Japan. The school was founded by Harvard Business School professor Hirotaka Takeuchi, its first dean, in 1998, and admitted students in 2000.
ICS is housed in the National Center of Sciences and located at Chiyoda Campus, the birthplace of Hitotsubashi University, Chiyoda, Tokyo.
ICS has seven separate programs: International Business Strategy (MBA and DBA), Executive MBA, Financial Strategy (MBA & Ph.D.), and Business Law (MA & Ph.D.).
It is the first full-time MBA program offered by a Japanese national university taught entirely in English. Students can apply for either a one year program or a two year program. The two year program provides opportunities for internships and exchange programs. The school enrolls approximately 50 full-time MBA students per year. Each year the student with the highest academic performance is awarded The Dean's Award.
This MBA program is at the heart of Hitotsubashi ICS and the term 'ICS MBA' or similar is often inferred to mean the International Business Strategy MBA Program.
The school offers a flexible DBA degree, which is completed over three years or more and can be undertaken in parallel with employment.
From 2017 ICS will offer an EMBA Program option.
The school offers a part-time MBA degree, which is completed in two years. The program is taught in Japanese. The school enrolls approximately 40 part-time MBA students per year. There is also a Ph.D. option.
