The enlargement of the opportunities in higher education has driven the population of college students toward much more diversified one. In accordance with these phenomena, the concept of strategic management on how to improve a first year experience is getting more importance as an agenda of management in a global context of higher education.,It is true in Japan that university people have got to understand the importance of the first year programs such as guidance, orientation and freshman seminar. But, they have few experiences to practice first year programs in terms of the concept and method of strategic management which emphasize on the programs as part of four year programs and the improvement of performance standards at the exit of undergraduate education.In this study, we paid much attention to the two countries of the United States and Australia which have accumulated the studies and practices on the first year experience. And we tried to survey the present trends and its achievements of the first year experience programs in these countries by case study.As a result of this study, we indicate the following features ;(1) To develop the first year experience programs including both of in-class and out-class activities,(2) To enrich staff development programs and faculty development programs for the first year programs,(3) To prepare systematic information/content on study tips and strategies(4) To apply a new approach of strategic planning theory to the first year experience programs.

高等教育机会的扩大促使大学生群体向多元化方向发展。根据这些现象，在全球高等教育背景下，关于如何改善第一年经验的战略管理概念作为管理议程变得越来越重要。在日本，大学生们确实已经认识到了第一年课程的重要性，比如指导，指导和新生研讨会。但是，在本科教育的第一年，他们在战略管理的理念和方法方面的实践经验还不多，他们强调的是作为四年制教育的一部分的课程，以及在本科教育结束时提高绩效标准。通过个案研究，我们对这些国家的大学一年级实习项目的发展现状和取得的成绩进行了考察，并指出了以下几个特点：（1）发展第一年的经验计划，包括课堂和课外活动，（2）丰富第一年的员工发展计划和教师发展计划，（3）准备有关学习技巧和策略的系统信息/内容（4）将战略规划理论的新方法应用于第一年的经验课程。
