Rules and Regulations

Pre-MBA student status is valid for one year and can be extended for an additional year* or until MBA enrollment is confirmed.
Pre-MBA and Japanese Tanka students may earn a maximum of 12 credits (equivalent to 8 courses) in total and transfer them to the MBA programs at GLOBIS. Students wishing to take courses in the Japanese Tanka program must apply separately.
All Pre-MBA students must comply with Section 8 of the Enrollment Regulations.

*Without confirmed MBA enrollment, Pre-MBA status can only be extended during the period in which earned credits remain eligible for recognition toward MBA program completion. Pre-MBA credits are valid for MBA programs only if they have been registered and earned within five years prior to enrollment in the MBA program.
