List of national universities in Japan

Starting 2010, there were 86 national colleges (国立大学 kokuritsu daigaku?), 95 state funded colleges and 597 private colleges in Japan.[1] National colleges have a tendency to be held in higher respect in advanced education in Japan than private or state funded colleges. 

In 2004, the national college framework experienced incomplete privatization. Since 2004, each national college has been consolidated as a "national college organization" (国立大学法人 kokuritsu daigaku hōjin?) and given extensive self-sufficiency in its operations. Workforce and staff are no more government representatives (国家公務員 kokka kōmuin?) working for the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. College names which moved are "graduate college" (大学院大学 daigakuin daigaku?).
