[edit] History

After ten years of more detailed and thorough planning, National Taipei University was officially established on February 1, 2000 with the full expectation and blessings of all involved. This newly-established university serves as one of the milestones in the history of higher education in Taiwan. National Taipei University has become a comprehensive university as it enters the 21st century. In retrospect, the University has undergone different stages of development: from Taiwan Provincial College of Business & Laws, it merged with and became the local Junior College of Administration and the specifically-established Administrative Junior College; it later became Provincial Chung Hsing University (and Supplementary College) and then Natinal Chung Hsing University (and Supplementary College). The University has kept a full record of this history and development in higher education. Numerous alumni, who have taken positions and rendered their contributions, at all levels in Taiwan, are ample proofs of the correct direction required at the different stages of the University's development.

[edit] Educational Philosophy

National Taipei University is founded on the basis of three of the following philosophical ideas, which will be continuously observed and put into practice.

They are:

Liberty: Colleges and universities should be granted academic library without restraint. Universities should abide by the rule-Students First and Teachers First. Campus administration is the realiztion and performance of rendering service to people. Innovation: Knowledge and innovation are the first priority in universities. A university-inclusive, indiscriminate and endurable enough-is a place where both the teaching faculty and the student body are allowed to exert their imagination and to seek truth. Excellence: College education should enable students to keep pursuing excellence. The interactive relations between the University and the neighboring community should be of prime importance. Emphasis should be placed on the role of the students so that they can feel free in search of truth as well as in the formation of individual personalities with a goal of all-round education.
