1-7 (1) Number of students obtaining a degree within standard residence requirement ( Undergraduate)
The data shows the percentage among 1st-year students who entered university (excluding transfer, re-admitted, and second-degree students) in Academic Years 2007-2011 of range those who graduated within 4 years (8 semesters). The university in total has about lower 70% range with no drastic increase or decrease. Comparing the Faculties, rapid changes are seen by academic year in Faculty of Theology. This is due to the small number of 1st year students, about 30 to 40 students, which is low compared to other Faculties, so that the difference of a few students greatly affects the graduation rate. The Faculty of Foreign Studies has a relatively low percentage, owing to the large number of students going on study abroad (“leave of absence” or “study abroad” on registry). A student taking leave of absence cannot graduate within 4 years. If the student has status of “study abroad” (exchange program or general study abroad), it is possible to graduate in 4 years, but as this is not advantageous for job search, students often choose to continue to enroll for a 5th year or more.
