    OKINAWA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY（沖縄キリスト教学院大学）

    Evaluation summary

    Standard 1. Mission and Objectives, etc.


    Based on founding principles centered on “Christianity”, “Peace”, and “Okinawa”, the University’s
    mission, goals and educational objectives provide the foundation for educational and research
    activities that embody the University’s individuality and distinctive quality. They are stipulated in
    University Regulations, written in student handbooks and on the official University website, and made
    widely known both on-campus and outside of the University.
    In order to respond to changes in social conditions, a system has been established for revising the
    University’s mission, goals and educational objectives, with the Board of Directors acting as the final
    decision-making organ. Educational objectives are currently being revised in response to growing
    tourism needs in Okinawa Prefecture in recent years.
    The University’s mission, goals and educational objectives are deeply reflected in the three policies
    of diploma policy, curriculum policy and admission policy as well as the University’s medium-to-
    long-term plan, with the enhancement of educational quality and continuous educational quality
    assurance identified as important objectives.

    Standard 2. Learning and Teaching


    In order to select entrants in accordance with the admission policy, multiple entrance examination
    systems have been implemented, and interviews are conducted as part of all entrance examinations.
    Enabling students to take subjects in a systematic and phased manner in accordance with the
    curriculum policy as well as implementing Tuition Improvement Questionnaires as appropriate have
    been useful in the improvement of teaching methods and curricula. Various support systems for
    learning and class instruction are being effectively implemented, including the “Coursebase” cloud
    learning management system used for pre-enrollment education and office hours systems that
    provides students with a high degree of freedom. Furthermore, the University also has a substantial
    financial support system for students that includes grant-type scholarships.
    In order to verify the diploma policy’s degree of achievement, surveys of the employment status
    of Fourth Year students and businesses employing Fourth Year graduates are carried out, and the
    results of these are used to assess the degree of achievement of educational objectives, to improve
    educational content, and various other purposes.
    Effective collaboration and teamwork among faculty and staff is being demonstrated in an
    appropriate manner, such ad close collaboration between the library and the Career Support Office.
    In order to achieve educational objectives, the educational environment and facilities such as the
    chapel are maintained, while the library has a large collection of books and materials covering a wide
    range of genres, including materials related to Christianity, available for students’ use.

    Standard 3. Management, Administration and Finance


    In order to realize the University’s mission and goals, in terms of management, Okinawa Christian
    Institute Administration Liaison Meetings are held twice a month with the aim of optimizing and
    accelerating Board of Trustees’ decision-making. Furthermore, in terms of education and learning,
    the University Council holds meetings every month to deliberate on important matters contributing
    to the University President’s final decisions.
    As the highest decision-making organ, the Board of Trustees currently comprises 10 board
    members who have a high rate of attendance at meetings; even when directors are unable to attend a
    meeting, they are able to vote for or against agenda items in advance by “Written Notifications of
    Intentions Regarding Board of Trustees’ Meeting Agenda Items”.
    With regard to Staff Development (SD) implementation policies and planning, policies and plans
    are formulated by the University Council, and together with administrative staff self-development
    support policies, examination fee assistance for acquiring specific qualifications and other matters are
    considered.
    In the 2017 academic year, the “Fourth Medium-to-Long-Term Five-Year Plan” and the medium-
    to-long-term financial plan were formulated, and efforts are being made to realize a stable financial
    base while reflecting these plans in business plans for single academic years.

    Standard 4. Self-Inspection and Evaluation


    Based on the Okinawa Christian University Self-Inspection, Evaluation, and Improvement
    Committee Regulations, independent activities are carried out each academic year using Self-
    Inspection and Evaluation Sheets for each organization.
    Highly transparent self-inspections and evaluations are assured by conducting various
    questionnaire surveys of students and analyzing the collected data. Results of self-inspections and
    evaluations are reported to the Board of Trustees and Faculty Council, as well as posted on the
    University’s official website, so that they are made widely known both throughout and outside the
    University.
    Based on the medium-to-long-term plan, each organization formulates its objectives and plan for
    the academic year, carries out “inspection and evaluation of initiative results”, and then presents issues
    for the next academic year and improvement policies, and to these processes is added evaluation by
    the Self-Inspection, Evaluation, and Improvement Committee”. This PDCA cycle demonstrates the
    University’s activities for realizing its mission, goals and educational objectives.
    In summary, in order to realize the University’s mission, goals and educational objectives based on
    founding principles rooted in the spirit of Christianity, not only the leadership of the Chairperson and
    President but also the collaboration and teamwork among faculty and staff are being effectively
    demonstrated, and the University is steadily implementing various initiatives.
    Note that with regard to the University’s unique initiatives regarding its mission and goals, the
    general comments on “Standard A. Peace education” should be referred to.
