Voice from UH at Manoa student of 2004 "I was very impressed with the ICS program; it is truly built on 'The Best of the Two Worlds. ' With classes taking place in a modern building in downtown Tokyo, the facilities are worldclass. In terms of the West, students learn through Harvardstyle case discussions, an approach that requires first-rate professors with extensive work experience who are skillful in facilitating discussions. In terms of the East, ICS distinguishes itself from MBA schools in the USA and Europe because it emphasizes 'tacit knowledge. ' Much of my learning there occurred through interactions with my seminar advisor, other students, and other informal relationship-building events. In all, studying at Hitotsubashi ICS was truly a once-in-lifetime experience. "
