Five Japanese universities (Doshisha University, Hokkaido University, Osaka Prefecture University, Konan University and Kwansei Gakuin University) worked together in the 2009- 2011 Freshman and Senior Survey for quality assurance and enhancement of college teaching and learning. This activity was supported by a Grant-in-Aid from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Comparative analysis of the 2011 Freshman and Senior Survey focusing on Hokkaido University showed: 1) that general education was good with rich first-year experiences, 2) the credit cap system and encouragement of self-study were working well, 3) the impact of the comprehensive admissions and new general education program, 4) the benefits of general education at a multidisciplinary university, and 5) that the satisfaction, sense of fulfillment and adaptation to university learning were higher among women. In addition, improvement of the career education program is necessary. The Freshman and Senior Survey will be continued for five more years by eight universities with the support of a new MEXT Grant-in-Aid. Through this activity plan advancement of the Institutional Assessment Network is expected.
