| Research Abstract |
The findings indicated that there are three typical types of graduate programs, namely 'a self-supporting type', 'a research-dependent type' and 'an organization-dependent type', and if these types are thought of as being joined up in the form of a triangle, a large variety of graduate programs are located within the triangle boundary lines. We also discussed financial contribution that undergraduate programs make to graduate programs, differences in the allocation of student aid as between research degree students and professional degree students, and the practice of decentralizing the financial management practices of graduate programs by each school, rather than having them run by a central administration. Implications of the findings for Japanese graduate education were presented.
