National Chiayi University

National Chiayi University (NCYU) was formed in February 2000 by merging two existing colleges in Chiayi: National Chiayi Institute of Technology (NCIT) and National Chiayi Teachers College (NCTC). The University now has 6 colleges, which include 7 doctoral programs, 41 full-time master`s degree programs, 4 global master programs, 15 part-time master’s degree programs, and 40 undergraduate programs. NCYU is one of the oldest and largest universities in the southern part of Taiwan. By merging the two colleges, NCYU is one of the few comprehensive universities in the southwestern part of Taiwan, covering a wide range of domains, including Life Sciences, Agriculture, Management, Science and Engineering, Humanities and Arts, and Education.

Education requires long-term commitment and planning as well as continuing management, and we need to persevere in our effort to achieve successful education. In the coming days, we shall pursue the following eight goals on the solid ground established by our predecessors: 1. foster organizational functions; 2. enhance our competitive edge; 3. shoulder our social responsibility; 4. implement holistic education; 5. expand our academic possibilities; 6. strengthen academic-industrial cooperation; 7. expand our view of the world; and 8. create a warm and well-disciplined campus. By establishing bonds of solidarity, cooperating in joint efforts and committing ourselves to innovative development, we as teachers and students should continue our mission to transform the University from good (grade A) to great (grade A+) so as to realize the vision of “Becoming the pride of Chiayi, and Nationally renowned as well as Internationally recognized University”.
