About the Center

Message from the Director

The Center for Higher Education Studies (CHES) was established in February 2014 as part of Waseda Vision 150, our long-term development plan.

Since the 2005 report of the Central Council for Education, “The Future of Higher Education in Japan”, the independent efforts of each university to improve its education have been demanded. Even in certified evaluation and accreditation, the establishment of academic management and internal quality assurance systems to improve education and research based on self-inspection and evaluation have come to occupy an important position. CHES is responsible for formulating and reviewing the three policies that form the basis of these efforts, and providing support for the visualization of learning outcomes and educational improvement process.

The “Center for Higher Education and Institutional Research” and the “Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology” were established within CHES. These organizations have since continued to collect and analyze data concerning education, research and management (IR), support classes that utilize ICT, promote and develop Good Practices to further enhance the quality of higher education, and implement university-wide faculty development (FD) programs.

CHES will continue to play an important role in the internal quality assurance system of the university, and contribute to designing the best form of the university by conducting studies and research concerning the methodology of higher education. By disseminating the results of our endeavors to the global community, we strive to firmly establish our place in Asia as a leading university.
