・ Perspectives on Rankings (Quoted from Source)
There are Bachelorʼs degrees for undergraduates, Masterʼs degrees for completed masterʼs programs, and Doctorates for completed doctoral
programs. This ranking is based on the number of doctoral degrees awarded.
* Doctrate = Upon graduation from an undergraduate program, students usually enroll in a graduate school for a period of five years(2 years for a masterʼs degree and 3 years for a doctoral degree) to acquire the necessary credits. After receiving research guidance, thestudent submits a doctoral dissertation and undergoes an examination to obtain the degree.
* Dissertation Ph. D = A degree that can be obtained without enrollment in a graduate school, only if the applicant has passed the examinationof a doctoral dissertation and has been confirmed to have academic ability equivalent or superior to that of a person who has completed adoctoral program. It is intended for those who wish to pursue a doctoral degree while working.

By Daigaku Tsushin (2022). Out of about 2,000 college preparatory high schools which were surveyed nationwide, 740 schools responded.
Using categories such as, “universities that are good at looking after students”, high school guidance counselors were asked to narrow down
their top 5 schools and rank them on a scale of 1 to 5, giving the highest-ranking school 5 points.

・ Perspectives on Rankings (Quoted from Source)
By Daigaku Tsushin (2022). A nationwide survey of working adults was conducted, ranking universities by category. The 1,000 targeted respondents
were company employees or public servants who had graduated from university. The survey was conducted without any regional bias, and the ratioof man and woman respondents was 1:1. They were asked to rank the top three universities throughout Japan, and the top three from the area inwhich they lived or the surrounding region. The answers were then scored in order of listing, with 3 points awarded for the first, 2 points awarded forthe second, and 1 point awarded for the third-highest ranking.

Using the database of Tokyo Shoko Research, Ltd., containing information on 4,000,000 companies (as of July, 2022), we extracted and collated
the disclosed data on the university from which the company representative (including sole proprietors) had graduated. If the same individual isemployed by multiple companies, we selected the firm with the highest revenues and excluded overlapping firms from collation. The figures may
include representatives who graduated from graduate schools.
