This article examines the practice and function of "Program FD" that aims to give substance to bachelor's degree programs and improve educational issues at Niigata University. On the basis of the university's framework of four educational target areas, each program's teaching staff implemented the practice of Program FD through reexamining the attainment targets of the degree program and recoordinating its curriculum map from the viewpoint of relocation of individual courses. As a result, the common understanding of the attainment targets among the teaching staff was promoted in the course of relocating and weighting the courses with the targets. Moreover, the recoordination of the curriculum map functioned as a framework for making the systemic curriculum alignment visible. The results suggest that the practice of Program FD may become a concrete approach to continuous curriculum improvement. Finally, the article discusses issues left for further development of Program FD that is expected to be implemented in daily educational activities.
