Yes, we can accommodate this. Professor Haruhiko Hori of Graduate School of Business Administration is in charge of instruction in tax law. In addition, faculty members in Graduate School of Law can also provide assistance.

Graduate Schools aspiring to tax law exemption are required to write a master's thesis (and obtain credits for related subjects) through research in tax law. After completing this graduate program, they are required to submit the master's thesis, which was approved by this graduate program, and other necessary documents to the National Tax Council.

Many graduates of this graduate school have been granted exemptions from tax law subjects, and generally, most people who wish to obtain a certified tax accountant qualification from this university hope to be exempted from two tax law subjects (if you are granted an exemption from two tax law subjects, the restriction of having to pass either Income Tax Law or Corporate Tax Law in the Certified Tax Accountant Examination will be removed). On the other hand, those who wish to be exempted from one accounting subject should inquire separately with Graduate Schools Office, but even in that case, the following Q&A will largely apply.

*Please note that submitting documents to the National Tax Agency's National Tax Council after graduation is a separate procedure from the Graduate School of Business Administration at this Graduate Schools. In other words, completing Graduate School of Business Administration does not automatically grant you tax exemption.

First, please contact Graduate Schools Office of this university and explain that you are considering enrolling in Graduate School of Business Administration primarily to obtain an exemption from the tax law section of the Certified Public Accountant Examination. Graduate Schools Office will then connect you with Professor Hori. Professor Hori is available to provide consultations as much as possible until the application period (please note that he will not provide any consultations after the application period to ensure fairness). Consultation is entirely voluntary and will not affect your admission to Graduate Schools.

The evaluation criteria for the entrance examination are based on Graduate Schools 's admission guidelines. Generally speaking, faculty members will focus on assessing whether applicants possess a basic understanding of the relevant field, can accurately write a research proposal, and have the ability to carry out the research plan during interviews and other interactions conducted during the entrance examination. It would be wise to keep these points in mind when preparing your application documents and research topic.

Please refer to the entrance examination guidelines for our graduate Graduate Schools. While a four-year university degree is required, high school graduates, junior college graduates, and vocational school graduates can also apply if they pass the prescribed application qualification screening. The Graduate School of Business Administration has a track record of several students being admitted after passing the application qualification screening. For information on application periods and required documents, please contact Graduate Schools School Office or the Admissions Office.

Since the supervising professor specializes in tax law, guidance will generally be provided (or can be provided) if the subject falls within this broad area. There are no specific restrictions on the type of tax. Conversely, guidance will not be provided if the student requests guidance in areas such as public finance.

Graduate School of Business Administration operates on an inverted L-shaped timetable (weekday evenings and Saturdays). Therefore, it should be convenient for those working full-time. However, considering the time required for lectures and research, a certain level of workload is expected, so we recommend that you consider the balance between your work and family life.

On the other hand, we at the university are keenly aware of the growing need for support and guidance to help students complete their studies, even though they have limited time to dedicate to academics due to life events such as childcare and elder care in addition to employment. To meet these needs, the university offers various programs, such as a long-term study system where the study period is extended to three or four years and the tuition fees for two years are divided equally, and a certificate program that allows students to take lecture courses before enrollment (which are recognized as completed courses after enrollment). Our faculty members are also as flexible as possible to accommodate your life events. In any case, please consult with us in advance through Graduate Schools Office or other relevant departments, and we will give you a sincere consideration and provide you with a response.

This is Tsuchitoi Campus.

The student body consists of 20-30% graduates from our university's Faculty of Business Administration and 70-80% working professionals (this percentage varies from year to year). Students from diverse backgrounds stimulate and inspire each other during their student life. Interaction among Graduate Schools is also relatively robust.

Once you actually enroll in Graduate School of Business Administration, Graduate Schools will have individual study spaces in the General Research Building, as well as a wealth of shared study spaces and learning support environments. Furthermore, the library houses one of the largest collections of specialized literature and books in the Tohoku region, ensuring extremely high accessibility to materials for writing theses and reports. We also offer comprehensive support systems, such as tuition fee reductions, for working professionals.

Many Graduate Schools with similar backgrounds enroll in our program. After entering Graduate School of Business Administration, students begin by working on research ethics and academic writing. We provide comprehensive support, including academic advisors and the entire Graduate School of Business Administration to help each student complete their master's thesis, while taking into account their individual skill levels.
