National Chengchi University (NCCU) was founded in 1927. Over the past 8 decades through re-formulation and development, we have been upholding our motto, “harmony, independence, balance and preeminence”, and have continued to refine our teaching methods and research in order to nurture talent for our country and society.

We currently have 9 colleges excelling in the liberal arts, law, commerce, science, foreign languages, social sciences, communication, international affairs and education, comprised of 33 departments and 47 graduate institutes (MA programs). 30 of the graduate institutes offer doctoral programs. In addition, in acting upon the policy of implementing our back-flow education, we have founded 16 on-the-job MA programs.

The Center for Public and Business Administration Education, Social Science Information Center, Computer Center, Center for International Education and Exchange, Institute of International Relations, Election Study Center, Center for the Third Sector, Center for Creativity and Innovation Studies, Center for China Studies and Taiwan Studies Center are affiliated to the University. In addition, NCCU also has an affiliated high school, an experimental elementary school and kindergarten, by which NCCU forms a consistent and articulated education system beginning at the pre-school level and continuing all the way to the Ph. D program.
