Tzu Chi University (TCU) started in 1994 as a medical college, supported by the world-renowned philanthropic Tzu Chi Foundation, which is best known for its global disaster relief activities and various voluntary social works. Within 20 years, TCU has rapidly evolved into a university that includes Colleges of Medicine, Life Sciences, Education and Communication, and Social Sciences and Humanity.
TCU offers an excellent education to prepare students for various challenges in the future. We also infuse students with ideas of social obligation through the Tzu-Chi brand volunteer service. In less than 20 years, our alumni have won high praises for their contributions to various social sectors. Our devoted faculty strives to excel in teaching, research, and societal service. Most importantly, they nurture students to explore ways of self-fulfillment through science, humanity, and social services.

Dharma Master Cheng Yen carries out our mission, "Extending our love beyond those we know to those who are not related to us, and feeling other people's pain and sorrow when they are hurt or suffering." After dedicating her life to compassion relief work, she realized sickness is the root of agony, and the mother of poverty, she visualized education as crucial to a nation's infrastructure. Master began organizing and building a medical college. Tzu Chi University was thus established in Taiwan's eastern region to raise the level of healthcare and education while inspiring students to do good deeds and help others. The university upholds the motto of "kindness, compassion, joy and unselfish giving" and strives to nurture students into those who respect life and care for living beings. In early 2000, the affiliated primary and secondary schools were set up, and comprehensive education from kindergarten up to the Ph.D. It will be fun to see where what the future holds.
Tzu Chi University believes the experience of education should be "great giving" â€" educators do not ask for anything back from their students. Following this belief, the university creates an exceptional learning environment and provides quality facilities for students to develop their expertise.
Tzu Chi translated means "serving with compassion to relieve the world's suffering." This is the approach TCU brings to academics. We are a university focused on research and education to bring forth generations of compassionate professionals ready to make a difference in the world.
