Message from Director of Admissions

The Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh strives to be the leading destination for graduate business students from Japan and is actively recruiting outstanding Japanese applicants.

 

The rigorous academic programs at Katz are based upon four key principles:

• Experience-based learning.  Students prepare for the day-to-day demands of business through Consulting Field Projects, fellowships, professional development training, internships and co-ops, and national case competitions.

 

• Globalism. The Katz International Business Center provides access to an array of international business opportunities. Additionally, Katz offers a Global Management Certificate and Global Research Practicums.

 

• Collaboration.  Additionally, at every stage, Katz students serve on cross-functional teams and complete group projects. Students also have opportunities for an abundance of cross-disciplinary collaboration.

 

• Innovation. Our flexible framework enables students to load up on electives, and pursue interdisciplinary certificates and joint or dual degrees. Katz offers a certificate program in Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship that prepares students for product development, new venture initiation, and product commercialization, among other areas.

​

Pittsburgh’s industries ranks highly in manufacturing, health care, financial services, energy, and information technology and the city’s first rate cultural amenities and low cost of living have helped the city earn the title of America’s “most livable city” by Forbes, The Economist, and Places Rated Almanac.

 

In addition to an active alumni chapter in Japan, Katz’s worldwide network of 23,000 alumni is located in more than 90 countries.

 

Thank you for your interest in the Katz Graduate School of Business and we look forward to receiving your application!

 

Sincerely,
