The purpose of this study is to clarify changes and trends in keywords used in faculty names in post-war Japan. The author conducted quantitively text analyses of the keywords used in the faculty name, using data from every 5 years from 1950 to 2015 in the “University List in Japan”. As a result of the analysis, it was found that some of the keywords that existed before the 1960s were decreasing, and that some keywords were increasing rapidly since 1990. Moreover, in the analysis combined with the university type, it was found that while national universities continue to use traditional keywords, many private universities tend to add new faculties with new keywords.
