Meiho University has an exciting history that has brought us to where we are today. Many people know the university was the first private nursing junior college in Taiwan, but the university is much more today. MU was established in 1966, upon approval of the Ministry of Education. The original name was MeiHo Junior College of Nursing, and it was a five-year day program, and all the college students majored in nursing. In 1984, the two-year day program was established. In 1990, the Department of Finance and Tax was established. A two-year-college evening program was set up, and the school changed its name to Mei-Ho Junior College of Nursing and Management. In 1999, the school changed its name to Mei-Ho Institute of Technology, and it also had junior college programs. In 2010, the school was approved to be renamed "Meiko University (MU)".
From the school's establishment in 1966, there was only one department (the Nursing Department) with approximately 300 students. Because of the dedicated, hard-working Board of Directors, Presidents, Faculty, and Staff, today MU has 18 departments and three graduate institutes:: Graduate Institutes of Business and Management, Health care, Applied Health, and Biotechnology.
Our college aims to develop the core skills of health care and professionals by industry needs and trends. The specializations concern nursing, biotechnology, beauty science, nutrition, clinic management techniques, and related topics.
Due to the rapid development of higher education and technical education, an oversupply of colleges, and the elitist education system becoming the popular one, the quality of university education being reduced to that of high school education, and the change of the number of population and its structure, they have an increasingly more significant impact on our technical education. Thus, dealing with them for this college to excel and forever continue its operation is imperative and will become an essential task in the future.
To deal with the challenges, the college has to carry out English make-up teaching to upgrade its students' English ability to improve the students' English ability's unfavorable perception of the technical school students. Besides, this college should continue to do research and carry on academic cooperation through international academic exchange programs and establish sister schools with internationally well-known colleges and universities to expand the international horizon of its professors and students. Moreover, the most advanced ideas and technologies can be brought into our country, enhancing our academic research. Meiho University shall work toward the teaching goals of "Professionalism by obtaining certificate and license as our first choice and employment as our priority," of "Cultivation of a complete individual by developing a man of creation and leadership," and of "Internationalization by elevating foreign language ability and strengthening international competitiveness." However, even though it is a private college under the full support of the Board of Directors of this University, and with the constant expansion of this college campus, upgrading the college software equipment and now actively building the most remarkable student's dormitories.
