The is a ranking of Japan’s top 100 universities by Toyo Keizai, released annually in October in its business magazine of the same name. "Toyo Keizai" means "Oriental Economy". There are several ranking lists of Japanese universities, with most measuring universities by their entrance difficulty, often called Hensachi, or by the alumni's successes. The Hensachi Rankings have been most commonly used as a reference for a university's rank.〔増田 晶文 "大学は学生に何ができるか" 2003〕 Given this context, Truly Strong Universities is a unique ranking system, which ranks Japanese universities in terms of 11 multidimensional indicators related to financial strength, education and research quality and graduate prospects. It does not include any indicator of entrance difficulty. The system attempts to evaluate the university's strengths and the performance of its alumni, rather than the students' prior academic abilities or the brand of the college. ==History== Toyo Keizai first published the TSU rankings in 2000.〔http://www.zam.go.jp/pdf/00000255.pdf〕 Its initial aim was to analyze private universities as companies, and conduct a financial analysis of them, which had rarely been attempted by other mass-media. It also tried to focus on a practical point of view such as business-academia collaboration, students' academic achievements, and career support for this ranking system. In 2004, the ranking system was reorganized with more multidimensional factors to capture universities as not only business organizations, but also educational and research institutions. In 2005, it started to analyze national universities, and they have been put into the same rankings from 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Truly Strong Universities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
