Graduate Schools
Several departments and faculties also have graduate schools (大学院 だいがくいん), such as The Faculty of Law, the Faculty of International Relations, and the Department of Education within the Faculty of Literature. The university also operates an Extension Center which is aimed at providing university-level education opportunities for non-university students as a form of Corporate Social Responsibility activity and as a means to forge relations with the local communities of its two campuses. The Extension Center also provides educational opportunities for university students in parallel with those offered within standard curricula, such as TOEFL or TOEIC classes and testing, and other forms of certification classes. The Center exists within the overall structure of Daito Bunka Gakuen (大東文化学園 だいとうぶんかがくえん), or the Daito Bunka Academy, which is the Trust within which the university and associated institutions exist. Daito Bunka is a little unusual in not having a single 'founder', or a dominant leader, founding family, or religious affiliation, all of which are common among Japanese private universities. Also, while a high school exists within the Daito Bunka Gakuen at the Itabashi Campus, the Dai-Ichi Koko (第一高校 だいいちこうこう) or Number One High School, there is no 'escalator system' of automatic entry into the university for those high school students as can be found at other universities in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the words graduate and/or schools:
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
