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:
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
