Self-inspection/evaluation

Rissho University has established a Self-Inspection and Evaluation Committee to inspect and evaluate various activities in its undergraduate and graduate degree programs and to use the results of these inspections to improve the quality of education and research.

The Self-Inspection and Evaluation Committee, chaired by the President, and the Graduate School Self-Inspection and Evaluation Committee, which is made up of members including all faculty and graduate school deans, are working to promote internal quality assurance as a university-wide organization. The results of the university's self-inspection and evaluation activities are published as "reports" on the university's website, as well as shared and published by the university's administrative departments and libraries.

In addition, an external evaluation committee consisting of outside experts was established in 2012 to inspect and evaluate various activities such as self-inspection and evaluation conducted by the university. Please refer to the following for the activities of the external evaluation committee.
