The curriculum for the Master's Degree Program in Taxation Policy and Management draws from the fields of economics of development, international economics, public finance, taxation theory, management, international tax law, business economics, and accounting. As these are courses from the Graduate School of Business and Commerce at Keio University, other international students and Japanese students may also participate. For a description of courses offered, click here.
Most classes meet once a week for 1.5 hours over the course of the fifteen-week term. Some courses require the students to attend class for two terms in order to gain credits. Intensive courses, such as those organized by specially invited professors, meet for two or three classes per week for one term.
Students will also participate in weekly seminars each term under the supervision of academic advisors. These seminars are to promote the students' research into various aspects of taxation. Students will submit their master theses as final products of these seminars. Students must take several seminars every year in order to complete the program.
With the approval of their advisors, JJ/WBGSP students may take courses outside of the curriculum of the
Master's Degree Program in Taxation Policy and Management, though credits from these courses do not apply toward the fulfillment of the program. They may take other courses in the Graduate School of Business and Commerce, as well as other graduate schools. However, most of these courses are conducted in Japanese.
Finally, students must complete the practicum sponsored by the National Tax Agency (NTA). Most courses of this practicum are held at the National Tax College (NTC) every Monday. The credits obtained in the practicum will count for eight credits over two years, but will not be included in the minimum credit requirements. |
