Founded in 1950 as the Tamkang Junior College of English by Mr. Chang Ching-sheng and his son Dr. Clement C. P. Chang, TKU was Taiwan's first private college. It became the Tamkang College of Arts and Sciences in 1958, before being elevated to Tamkang University in 1980. From its humble beginnings as one of the first schools of higher education in Taiwan, TKU now has four campuses: the Tamsui Campus, the Taipei Campus, the Lanyang Campus, and the Cyber Campus comprised of eight colleges, with a total of over 27,000 students, more than 2,100 faculty and staff members, and more than 250,000 alumni. Tamkang is a university of ideas, vision, and creativity. It sees the pursuit of excellence and ongoing innovation as characterizing sustaining its fundamental management philosophy. Over the last 60-plus years, TKU has focused on developing academic research, teaching, and learning services with an innovative spirit since its foundation. It was the first university in Taiwan to employ Total Quality Management (TQM), which it introduced in 1992. In 2006, the Tamkang Quality Award was initiated to recognize outstanding departments committed to TQM. It has generated impressive results and garnered positive public feedback. TQM efforts were significant in helping TKU win the prestigious National Quality Award in 2009. Tamkang's administrative teams have applied innovative strategies to promote the Three Circles and Five Disciplines of Education. The "Three Circles" refer to Tamkang's professional curriculum, core curriculum, and student activities curriculum, while the "Five Disciplines of Education" include conduct, intelligence, physical education, teamwork, and beauty. TKU has nurtured academic growth through its "Triple Objectives of Education," which refers to globalization (the spatial pattern of the future), information-oriented education (the life pattern of the future), and future-oriented education (the time frame of the future). With its motto of "Simplicity, Truthfulness, Firmness, and Perseverance," Tamkang strives to develop students' potential fully. It aims to help every Tamkangian establish a firm foothold at school and seeks to become a world-renowned, top quality comprehensive university by providing students with the most modern learning resources and training possible.- Founded in 1950 as the Tamkang Junior College of English by Mr. Chang Ching-sheng and his son Dr. Clement C.
