INI Interests
"The economy demands that students be able to do business across borders and work with people from differing backgrounds. Companies are generally multinational, whether they are located in Japan, Europe, the U.S or elsewhere. The exceptional students who are admitted into the INI programs will be prepared to compete on this global level."
