This paper explores an analytical method for the student learning level in an academic program by use of student self-assessment. Nitobe College for Graduate Students in Hokkaido University (hereinafter referred to as "Nitobe College Graduate") has been offering two special programs (Foundation Program and Honors Program) for Master's course students in Hokkaido University under its education policy of "3+1 Competencies". The students in Nitobe College Graduate are required to do self-assessment along with "3+1 Competencies" three times during their study in the program. The "3+1 Competencies" are composed of Ability for Sustainable Personal Development, Team Organization & Management Skills, Capacity for Knowledge Sharing and Application for Social Benefit, and Professional Ethics. With the application of a new analytical method to the results of the student self-assessment, the paper shows the extent to which the students of Nitobe College Graduate have acquired the "3+1 Competencies."
