In Academic Year 2006, Hiroshima University launched an educational program in order to provide each student with detailed learning support, thereby improving the quality of education and meeting society’ s expectations on the university. This program is called HiPROSPECTS® (Hiroshima University Program of Specified Education and Study) . HiPROSPECTS® is constructed to aim at competency-based education. Therefore, one outstanding feature of HiPROSPECTS® is a new evaluation method using rubric in order to measure competences in each major programs. In addition to conventional evaluation of performances in individual lectures, the University informs students of their achievement of the objectives for individual major programs. Students are expected to achieve the objectives by the time of their graduation. Knowing their achievement levels help students to continue their studies effectively. At the end of each semester, the University evaluates students’ achievement of objectives for individual major programs, stipulated in the Guidebook of programs as rubrics, in the following four levels: Best (B) , Modal (M) , threshold (T) , and Unsatisfactory (N) . Implementation of PDCA cycle is essential for teaching and learning assessment. HiPROSPECTS® secures quality of graduates by implementing PDCA cycle and aims to construct high reliable curriculum. From 2015 HiPROSPECTS® will start as the improved system.
