- Message on Publication
Sophia School Corporation has decided to publish “Sophia Factbook”. It contains basic statistics on data collected and processed for the four schools held by Sophia School Corporation, namely, Sophia University, Sophia University Junior College Division, Sophia School of Social Welfare and Seibo Nursing School. Sophia School Corporation has created until now statistical documents depending on intended use, but the “Sophia Factbook” provides data for the past years up to ten on each data item to demonstrate the changes over time, offering a better and deeper understanding of the transition and features of each school. In August 2015 Sophia School Corporation established “Office for Institutional Research” intended to foster awareness of individuals working in both the academic organizations and clerical sections to perform their work firmly based on data and facts. We hope and expect that “Sophia Factbook” will provide basic materials for the management of the corporation and operation of the schools and contribute to improve their work, and at the same time, to promote the publicizing of information to all stakeholders.

- 2 Future Plans
2-1 Percentage among full-time faculty members with foreign nationalities, Top Global University Project or Japanese faculty members with degrees obtained abroad 【 (hereafter TGUP ) Index】
In 2014 Sophia University was selected for the Top Global University Project (Type B) funded by MEXT. Based on past achievements, Sophia University will rise to the challenges of global leadership in Japanese society and address the concept of “Creating a global campus with multiple hub functions and supportive governance.” Together with the common index established by MEXT, Sophia University has set forth its own index and targets. Sophia’s concept and targets of TGUP overlap with the goals of globalization and governance reforms promoted by Sophia’s long-range planning “Grand Layout 2.0.” Full-time faculty members with foreign nationality, or Japanese faculty members with degrees obtained from universities abroad, or who were educated or conducted research overseas maintain in total an average of 47 to 48%. This number is high compared to that of other universities. The ratio is expected to rise even higher to advance the “Top Global University Project” (Date of data acquisition: May 1st of each year)

2-4 Number and percentage of courses taught in a foreign language【TGUP Index】
In undergraduate courses, courses taught in a foreign language have increased in Academic Year (AY) 2014. One of the factors could be the revision of English curriculum offering a new CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) course. CLIL is an approach for learning contents of various academic fields in English. Using English as a learning tool is a teaching methodology that can enhance the practical learning and using the language. Future plans are considered to offer courses students can graduate from or complete using foreign language only and to increase courses taught in a foreign language. Also in the Graduate School, the proportion of courses taught in a foreign language will be raised gradually to reach 25% by AY 2023. Goals will be to foster people capable of publicizing their research achievements and giving back to international community.

1-1 Number of undergraduate students
Since Academic Year (AY) 2011 the number of undergraduate students is demonstrating a sharply rising trend. This is due to the establishment of Department of Nursing in Faculty of Human Sciences in AY 2011, the changes in admission capacity of undergraduate Faculties and Departments in AY 2012, the establishment of Faculty of Global Studies in AY 2014, and also due to the annual increase in enrollment capacity of these new systems. (Date of data acquisition: May 1st of each year)

1-2 Number of Graduate School students
From Academic Year AY 2005 to 2014, the number of students in Graduate School remains relatively constant with a slight increase and decrease. The number of students in Pre-doctorate/Master’s Program remains around 900 in total since AY 2010, although there was a decreasing trend in AY 2008 and 2009. The number of students in each Graduate School varies by academic year, but a distinctive trend of Pre-doctorate/ Master’s Programs is the fact that number of students enrolled in Graduate School of Science and Technology accounts for about 40% of the total. The number of students in Doctoral Programs remains constant around 230, showing only a small range of increase and decrease. Number of students in Juris Doctor Program (Law School) is on a declining trend (Date of data acquisition : May 1st of each year) since AY 2009.

1-5 (2) Number of students completing Graduate Programs
Pre-doctorate/Master’s Program The number of students completing the program maintains a certain level with slight increase and decrease every academic year.
● ●
Doctoral Program The number of students completing Doctoral Program and of students receiving doctoral degree by special arrangement for Course Doctor (katei-hakase) [student who submits dissertation within three years of Withdrawal by Completion (manki-taigaku), passes the dissertation examination and receives the doctoral degree] is around 15 to 35 students every year.
Juris Doctor Program (Law School) The Law School was established in Academic Year 2004 and the students completing the program in Academic Year 2005 were limited to two-year course (completed) students, resulting in a small number of 52 students. When the Law School was established in Academic Year 2004, the two-year course and three-year course both had enrollment capacity of 50 students, but due to the change in capacity in Academic Year 2011, capacity for two-year-course became 50 students and that for three-year course 40 students for Academic Years 2011 to 2014. Since Academic Year 2012, the number of students completing the Program is decreasing, which is understandable considering the number of students reached its peak in Academic Year 2009 and drastically decreased since then (287 students in Academic Year 2009, 165 in Academic Year 2014).

1-6 (1) Number of students graduating early (Undergraduate)
Currently in Academic Year (AY) 2015, the Faculties that allow early graduation are Faculties of Law, Economics, Global Studies, Liberal Arts, Science and Technology. Faculty of Global Studies was established in AY 2014, and has no cases of early graduation yet. In AY 2005 to 2014, Faculty of Comparative Culture/ Faculty of Liberal Arts permitted students to graduate early every year, and the number of early graduates is larger than that of other Faculties. Students must be enrolled for three years or more to be eligible for early graduation. Among the early graduates of Faculty of Comparative Culture/ Faculty of Liberal Arts a high percentage are students enrolled for 3.5 years. Among early graduates of all Faculties in ten years (2005 -2014) an average of about 64% graduated after 3 years of enrollment, and about 36% after 3.5 years of enrollment, whereas in Faculty of Comparative Culture/ Faculty of Liberal Arts 64% graduated after 3.5 years of enrollment. This is due to the semester system of Faculty of Comparative Culture/ Faculty of Liberal Arts that has Autumn Semester admission and graduation. Faculty of Economics and Faculty of Law also have several early graduates almost every year, but Faculty of Science and Technology had only two students who graduated early between AY 2005 and 2014.

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.

- 1-7 (2) Number of students obtaining a degree within standard residence requirement (Graduate school)
The data shows the percentage among students who entered the Master’s or Doctoral Program in Academic Years 2007 to 2013 (excluding re-admitted students) of those who completed the program within two years. Students who enter Pre-doctorate / Master’s Program in total each year are about 400, but some Graduate Schools only have 10 students or fewer by year. When comparing the Graduate Schools, the scale of each school must be considered. The largest Graduate School holding about 40% of all students enrolled in Pre-doctorate/ Master’s Program is the Graduate School of Science and Technology with a constant 90% rate, a remarkable percentage. The percentage of students who entered the Doctoral Programs in Academic Years 2007 to 2012 (excluding re-admitted students) and who completed within three years ranges between 2.5% and 16.7 %, varying by academic year. The total number of students entering in each academic year vary between 40 to 60 students, and some Graduate Schools do not have any new students by academic year; therefore the percentage of completing the program is not shown.

1-8 (1) (1) Undergraduate: Undergraduate school: Number of students on leave of Number absence of students on leave of absence
The number of students on leave of absence is increasing steadily since Academic Year 2010. The number of students whose reason for taking the leave of absence is “study abroad” is also increasing similarly, and a large increase of more than 70 students is seen in Academic Years 2013 to 2014. The major factor for the rapid increase since Academic Year 2013 was the revision of tuition and fees structure planned in Academic Year 2014 and the anticipated reduction of tuition and fees during leave of absence starting in Academic Year 2013. An increase is seen in number of students due to changes made in admission capacity since Academic Year 2012 and the percentage of number of students on leave of absence among the total number of students is also increasing from 3.1% in Academic Year 2012 to 4.1% in Academic Year 2012. Number of students taking leave of absence is large in two Faculties, Foreign Studies and Humanities. Both Faculties have a high percentage of students whose reason for taking the leave of absence is “study abroad; in Academic Year 2014, the percentage was about 70% (110 students out of 158) for Faculty of Foreign Studies, and 57% (56 students out of 98) for Faculty of Humanities.

- 1-8 (2) Graduate School: Number of students on leave of absence
The number of students on leave of absence in Graduate School is around 100 with some increase or decrease every year but it shows no significant trends. The reasons for the leave of absence are “personal reasons” and “other reasons” and the total of both reaches almost 50%, making it difficult to find any trends. No significant differences were found among the Graduate Schools, but the percentage of students on leave of absence among the total number of students in Doctoral Program shows a high tendency.

The number of students withdrawing from university / withdrawing by completion is 70 to 80 each year. In AY 2014 the number of students withdrawing was small compared to that of other academic year. No significant difference is observed and the total number is small, making it difficult to find the trend. The number of students withdrawing for reasons of “jobs” is higher compared to the undergraduate students.

1-9 (1) Number of courses offered (Undergraduate)
The drastic decrease of one-year courses in AY 2013 is due to the semester system introduced for the language courses. Counting one year course as two courses, splitting to Spring and Autumn Semesters, there are 5,234 courses in AY 2010; 5,083 courses in AY 2011; 5,106 courses in AY 2012; 5,041 courses in AY 2013; 5,048 courses in AY 2014. In AY 2011 Department of Nursing was added to Faculty of Human Sciences, in AY 2012 English-taught Course was established in Faculty of Science and Technology, in AY 2014 Faculty of Global Studies was established; these changes would have increased the number of courses offered, but there was a decrease in AY 2010 to 2011 and in the following years no significant increase or decrease was observed, marking only slight changes within a narrow range. The graph explains that this trend conforms to the basic policy of reducing courses announced in the President’s message given every June “Guidelines for creating undergraduate curriculum”. Calculation method: Courses offered in each academic year excluding cancelled courses are summed by Course Registration Codes of each Faulty/Department offering the courses. The total number is given (courses offered for more than one Department are counted separately as one for each Course Registration Code).
NB:1. The number of courses offered by Faculty of Liberal Arts includes Summer Session courses. NB:2. Courses offered by Center for Global Discovery are included in Faculty of Foreign Studies.

- 1-9 (2) Number of courses offered (Graduate School)
Compared to AY 2010, a considerable increase is observed in AY 2011. This is due to new courses (seminars) offered in some Graduate Schools since AY 2011. The new courses were developed as a result of sorting out research guidance and course lectures according to completion requirements set by university regulations to clarify the category. The Graduate Schools are required to comply with the basic policy of maintaining the number of courses as the previous year according to the President’s announcement given every June ’Guidelines for creating graduate curriculum”. No significant changes are seen in number of courses offered. Calculation method: Courses offered in each academic year excluding cancelled courses are summed by Course Registration Codes of each Faulty/Department offering the courses. The total number is given (courses offered for more than one Department are counted separately as one for each Course Registration Code) Courses are excluded if number of credits or class hours per week are not stated (research guidance, thesis guidance; individual study courses will be counted if number of credits and class hours per week are stated; intensive courses are counted if the class hours per week are not stated).

- 1-11 Sophia Community College
Sophia University provides extension programs for working adults at “Sophia Community College”. In the past ten years, the annual total number of students shifted around 4000 to 5000 and during these years the courses were reorganized, publicity activities reviewed, and new courses offered at Osaka Satellite Campus, providing a new platform for learning. Although the number of students is affected by factors such as earthquakes and economy, Sophia intends to create extension courses that only Sophia can offer to meet the diverse needs for learning by carrying out action plans of Grand Layout 2.0. Sophia also offers courses in Theology for Catholics, clergy and students aiming to obtain license for religion teacher. The number of students decreased since Academic Year 2009, but gradually recovered by limiting courses to summer sessions and intensive courses. Since Academic Year 2012 intensive courses are also held at Osaka, committing to training of religion teachers in the Kansai region.

2 Faculty Members
2-1 (1) Number of full-time faculty members
In the past ten years, the number of full-time faculty members has shifted between 500 and 550. A decrease of number of faculty members was observed in Academic Year 2008 due to the reorganization of the Faculties and Graduate Schools of Science and Technology. The number of faculty members increased due to establishment of new Department of Nursing in Academic Year 2011 and new Faculty of Global Studies in Academic Year 2014.

Number of foreign national faculty members
Distinctive feature is the large number of faculty members from Europe and North-America, owing to the university’s foundation in Jesuit network and also to the characteristic feature (liberal arts education) of Faculty of Liberal Arts. In the future, increase of faculty members from Asia, Middle East and Africa is expected with the increase of partner institutions for exchange programs and academic cooperation.

3 International Features
3-1 Number of outgoing exchange students
There is a general rising trend, but since Academic Year (AY) 2014 a significant increase is observed. This is mainly due to a considerable increase of students of Faculty of Foreign Studies (about 100 students). Another factor could be the”Go global Japan Project” for which Sophia was selected in AY 2012. As for the students in other Faculties, there is a slight increase and decrease by academic year and no significant trend is seen, except in Faculty of Economics where outgoing students are increasing steadily since AY 2010. Looking at the regions, in recent years, study abroad to Asian countries shows increasing tendency. North America remains the most popular region for study abroad, with over 100 students since AY 2011. Europe is rapidly closing in with an increasing trend of outgoing students.

- 3-2 Number of incoming students from partner institutions
The graph shows the number of incoming students from partner universities with which Sophia has concluded agreements and the trends by region. Affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, a recovery trend is seen in almost all regions, but there is a marked increase in incoming students from Europe. The number of students from North America has not returned to the same level as before 2010. A gradual increase is observed in students from Asia although the number of partner universities there is still small compared to Europe or North America.

3-3 Number of international students
In Academic Year (AY) 2011, a temporary decrease was observed due to numerous cancellations of study abroad following the Great East Japan Earthquake, but excluding this particular year, there is an increasing trend since 2005. This is markedly the case in the number of students from Asia which is almost double that of ten years ago. Also the number of students from Europe doubled in ten years though not as large as that from Asia. The numbers of international students (regardless of visa status) and international students (with visa status “College student”) show similar trend of increase and decrease. The number of students by nationality in descending order is as follows: in AY 2005; 1. USA: 222 students (183); 2. People’s Republic of China: 177 (148); 3. The Republic of Korea: 120 (64); in AY 2014; 1. People’s Republic of China: 435 (353); 2. The Republic of Korea 228 (124); 3. USA 194 (177). (The number in brackets is students with visa status “College student”)

Sophia has held “Summer Session in Asian Studies” for more than 50 years as a short-term program for incoming international students. The long-established program had a vast number of participants but the number decreased to below 200 for some time after Academic Year (AY) 2009, affected by the high yen and the Great East Japan Earthquake. Since AY 2011, new programs have been offered for international students from China and Japanese language intensive courses, in AY 2014, the grand total of participants rose to over 350.

4-1 State and trends of Sophia University Scholarship type and recipients
The major scholarship programs offered by Sophia University are New Students Scholarship, Tuition Support Scholarships and Benefactors’ Scholarships and the number of recipients amounts to about 80% of total. In recent years, number of scholarship recipients shows an increasing trend owing to factors such as the increase of international students and students’ financial situation. In Academic Year (AY) 2011, relief money was granted to victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and scholarship amount shows a temporary rise. Since AY 2012, the scholarship of Academic Excellence Award was changed into a Student Award Program. Up to AY 2013, the Graduate School has granted the “Graduate School Research Subsidy Scholarship” to about 900 students every year, but this scholarship was abolished and changed to other scholarship programs from AY 2015. (The number of recipients of “Graduate School Research Subsidy Scholarship” is not included in the graph below)

- 4-3 Number of scholarship recipients
The data of scholarship recipients shows the total number of recipients of scholarships including Sophia University Scholarships and JASSO Scholarships. With the recent increase of scholarship programs, the total number of recipients shows an increasing trend. The rate of Undergraduate recipients ( ※ 1) is around 20% to 30%. Similarly in several Graduate Schools the data shows this rate is over 60%. The sharp decrease of number of recipients observed in Academic Year 2014 is due to the abolition of the “Graduate School Research Subsidy Scholarship” which was awarded to about 900 recipients per year.

Number of groups of extracurricular activities and participating students
Number of groups of extracurricular activities
(people)
In the number of extracurricular activities groups over 60% are Unorganized groups that do not belong to any alliance or committee. The number of other groups shows no significant changes in any academic year. However, the total number of groups has a decreasing tendency since Academic Year 2013. A possible reason for the decrease in total number of groups may be the change in application period for approval of new groups; until then, approval for new groups was once a year, but this was changed to approval period of twice a year (spring/autumn) as many of the groups could not last for a full year. The total number of students participating in extracurricular activities is between 7,000 and 8,000, the rate to total number of enrolled students around 60%.

- 5 Career Options
5-1 Status and trends of career options (Undergraduate students)
Career options in the past five years from Academic Year 2010 to 2014, show an increasing trend for jobs both in undergraduate and graduate students of Humanities ※1 and Sciences ※2 and a decreasing trend for advance in study. This trend is observed in numbers by Faculty owing to the gradual recovery of economy and increase of job openings.

5-2 Career options (Graduate students)
Career options in the five years from Academic Year 2010 to 2014, show a decreasing trend for jobs in Master’s Program students of Humanities ※1. The percentage of advance study remains around 10%, that of other options on the increase. Other options include preparing for study abroad, preparing for certification examinations, continuing with job search, overseas travel, and part-time jobs. For the Master’s Program students of Sciences ※ 2 the numbers vary slightly but remains around 90% for jobs, less than 5% for advance study. There is no graph for the Doctoral Program students as a high percentage of the students do not notify their career options making it difficult to grasp the trend statistically.

6-1 Trend in number of Library collections
The graph shows the shift in number of books collected in the Central Library, Law School Library, Mejiro-Seibo Campus Library (since Academic Year 2011). Following the merger of Sophia University and Seibo College in Academic Year 2011, library collection increased considerably but the number fell slightly the next year due to removal. Compared with other university libraries, a distinctive feature is the large number of books written in foreign languages. Sophia University

7-1 Data on Intra-university Research Allowance
Sophia is making several revisions on the Intra-university Research Allowance to improve the research environment at Sophia and although the constitution and budget amounts are varying at present, allowances for various researches are granted when considered necessary to promote research activities. In Academic Year 2014, the system of competitive “University-wide collaborative research funds” to encourage pursuit of external funding was revised to develop into a new fund of “Sophia University Special Grant for Academic Research”. The new grant ensures the distribution of funding to support all kinds of research activities with particular focus on innovative approach, originality, and internationality as well as inter-disciplinary research to capitalize on the broad academic scope of Sophia. A major goal of the grant is to enhance Sophia’s research capacity and its international recognition, eventually to raise the global presence of Sophia University as a research university.

7-2 Trend in acquisition of external fund
The graph shows the number of “research projects led by a head researcher belonging to Sophia University” and the trend of total amount of distribution of research allowance. Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research are competitive funds that are intended to significantly develop all creative and pioneering “scientific research” from basic to applied research in all fields, ranging from the humanities and the social sciences to the natural sciences. Up to Academic Year (AY) 2008 the number of selected projects was somewhere around 120, but since AY 2011 the number of selected projects dramatically increased due to drastic revision and higher selection rate of the Grants and also to effective policy of encouraging acquisition of external fund. A significant increase of allowance distribution is observed in AY 2012; this is due to selection of a project for “Grant-in-Aid for Specially Promoted Research” with acquisition of grant in the unit of one hundred million yen. Trend analysis of Scholarship Research Donations and Contract Research/External Collaborative Research is difficult to carry out, as they are easily affected by economic circumstances and research progress, but analysis results are gradually available now showing results of organized promotion of Industry-Government-Academic Collaboration. This was achieved by the Center for Research Promotion and Support, the responsible department for Contract Research/External Collaborative Research, which established the Industry-Government-Academic Collaboration team in AY 2012. 60

7-3 Intellectual Property
In the past five years the number of patent applications by persons affiliated with Sophia filed in Japan showed an increasing trend and is expected to continue to maintain a standard of over ten applications a year. Also, with the increase of patent applications and the constant trend, patent registrations will show similar increase. On the other hand, patent applications filed outside Japan (including international patent applications entering national phase under PCT and direct national filings in target country) are small in number and vary widely depending on whether or not any application is made. Therefore, although the number of such patent registrations is increasing since Academic Year 2013, it is to be expected the number will continue to sway greatly.

1-1 Number of enrolled students
The Department of English Language of the Sophia University Junior College Division has admission capacity of 250 and enrollment capacity of 500. The graph below shows that 1.02 to 1.16 times the enrollment capacity was attained up to Academic Year (AY) 2011, indicating a stable number of students enrolled. Since AY 2012, there have been years when less than 1.0 times the enrollment capacity has been attained. Due partly to the Great East Japan Earthquake, the number of admitted students for AY 2011 dropped below the admission capacity for the first time since the foundation of the college. In April 2012 “Sophia Junior College” was renamed “Sophia University Junior College Division,” and the number of applicants for admission for AY 2013 exceeded admission capacity but has since been declining slightly.

1-3 Entrance examination trends
In Academic Year (AY) 2007 the number of applicants momentarily decreased. The entrance examination system was revised in AY 2008 so that an exam would be held in March as well; the number of applicants rebounded to 1.3 times that of the previous year. In the following year, AY 2009, there was the same number of applicants as in AY 2008 but in AY 2010 and 2011 the number of applicants decreased considerably, partly due to the Great East Japan Earthquake. From AY 2012 to 2014 the number of applicants and the number of examinees both remained stable. Ongoing efforts have been made to increase the number of applicants through such measures as holding entrance examinations in areas of the country other than where the Junior College Division is located.

Up to Academic Year (AY) 2012 the number of students on leave of absence or withdrawing from the Junior College Division showed increases and decreases from one academic year to another but had an increasing trend overall. From AY 2013 Institutional Research activities have been undertaken and efforts have been made to reduce the number of students taking a leave of absence or withdrawing by focusing on pertinent issues for attention, making curriculum and course improvements, and providing mental health support. In fall semester 2014, a remedial course called “English Fundamentals” was launched on a trial basis for students with poor academic performance in English language courses. This course is to be officially added to the curriculum in AY 2015.

- 1-5 Number of courses offered
The semester system was introduced in Academic Year (AY) 2005 and since then the number of courses offered each year has remained almost unchanged. A curriculum assessment system, launched in AY 2014, provides a multifaceted assessment mechanism to gauge whether the course offerings and graduation requirements are functioning as originally envisioned and as planned, and whether they meet the needs of students and demands of society. In fall semester of AY 2012, the Sophia University Non-matriculated Student Program was introduced, allowing Junior College Division students who fulfill predetermined requirements and pass an on-campus screening to enroll in some of the courses offered by Sophia University and to earn credits for those courses, up to 12 credits maximum. This program has increased course enrollment options for students.

In Academic Years (AY) 2010, 2011, and 2012 a large number of courses were offered through the Community College program and the number of students showed an increasing trend. But from AY 2013, for some courses there was an insufficient number of applicants and the number of students decreased. In Fall Semester of AY 2014, however, as course contents were revised and the number of courses was increased, there was a small increase in number of students.

In the period surveyed the numbers of both full-time and part-time faculty members with foreign nationality showed no significant changes. The average ratio of foreign-national faculty members is 26% among full-time and 27% among part-time faculty members, indicating that one out of four faculty members is of foreign nationality. Some foreign-national faculty members teach general education courses and specialized content courses in addition to language courses. This allows students to use English as means for learning in courses and seminars other than language courses, and to improve their practical language skills at the same time as acquiring specialized (Date of data acquisition : May 1st of each year) knowledge.

2-4 Foreign-national faculty members and faculty members who obtained a degree from an overseas university
Since Academic Year 2008, the number of full-time foreign-national faculty members and full-time Japanese faculty members who obtained a degree from an overseas university has been unchanged. These two groups combined have consistently accounted for greater than 50% of all full-time faculty members. Along with students of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds (about 10% of the total student population), these faculty members form the core of the Junior College Division’s campus of multicultural coexistence.

3-1 Study abroad programs
The number of study abroad participants decreased following the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, with about 40 participants every year. In Academic Year (AY) 2012 the study abroad agency was changed to one with a wide overseas network to enhance the support available to students while overseas. Since AY 2014 the program has focused on two overseas institutions for study abroad, the University of Gloucestershire and Bond University, both offering high-quality education programs and student guidance. Together with Sophia University, the Junior College Division plans to carry out from AY 2015 a Micronesia cross-cultural tour and a Peru study tour, although students will not earn credits for participating in these new programs.

In Academic Years (AY) 2010 and 2012, Hoffmann Scholarships were granted to commemorate the centennial of Sophia University. Since AY 2012, following the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011, financial aid for disaster-affected students has been provided but this aid has been decreasing over time. Tuition support scholarships have been provided to students in severe financial difficulties, but as recipients have been selected according to strict criteria regarding degree of hardship, the number of recipients has remained low.

In the past five years, both the number of groups and the number of participants has decreased. In previous years numerous new groups were established every year, but many did not last long due to a lack of successor participants and overall the numbers decreased. Groups that have long been active make up most of the extracurricular activity groups and the number of groups will likely remain as it is.

4-3 Service Learning
Service Learning refers to the integration of social engagement and hands-on learning experiences outside of campus with learning in classes on campus. It is an attempt to integrate “social knowledge” and “classroom knowledge” by effectively tying the learning obtained by students engaged in social volunteer activities (service) with classroom learning. Service Learning activities at the Junior College Division are comprised of Community Friend, which offers Japanese learning support on campus and at community halls to citizens with foreign nationality; College Friend, which provides support for Japanese learning and class subject learning to foreign-nationality primary school and junior high school children in Hadano City; and English Friend, which provides English lessons at primary schools at Hadano City. For Community Friend, the number of college student volunteers varies by year depending on the number of learners in need of support. Similarly, as College Friend activities are carried out at the request of Hadano City, the number varies depending on the number of requests. For English Friend, the number of participating college students is relatively stable.

The number of students transferring to four-year universities after graduating from the Junior College Division has averaged around 90 students per year. It is to be noted that 90% or more of students who wish to transfer to university have successfully done so every year.

More Junior College Division students transferred to Sophia University than any other four-year university, with students gaining admission either through the special transfer admission examination system for Junior College Division students or through the general transfer admission examination. The number of students transferring to other universities has varied by academic year, with students transferring to Tokyo Woman’s Christian University every year in the period surveyed.

6-1 Number of items in Library collections
In Academic Year (AY) 2011, the digitization of the Library catalog was completed; the data on the total number of items in the collection starts from AY 2012. In AY 2012 to 2014, there were no significant changes in the number of books and other materials, but following the digitization of the catalog, the OPAC system was introduced, enabling a comprehensive search of books housed in libraries at the Yotsuya Campus, the School of Social Welfare, and the Mejiro Seibo Campus. Using this system at the Junior College Division Library, students can request, receive and return books from libraries at other campuses. Library books are selected to suit the educational offerings of the Junior College Division and the characteristics of the school’s students; special sections for books for extensive reading in English and books on teaching English to children, as well as a special section for introductory books on various academic disciplines recommended by the Faculties of Sophia University aid students in selecting departments for transfer applications and in carrying out studies in specialized areas for Seminar courses.
