Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU) is a private university located in southern Taiwan. CJCU is committed to developing the God-given gifts and abilities of each student within a culture of love, respect, and service. The University was founded in 1992 but is the outgrowth of a vision that began more than one hundred years earlier with Chang Jung Senior High School's founding, Taiwan's first western-style high school, in 1885.
Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU) is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT) and seeks to continue the PCT's role as an educational pioneer in Taiwan. The University offers a unique approach to education based on the Biblical model of the Good Shepherd, who is not willing to lose one sheep. It places great value on each student's potential and yet, at the same time, seeks to build a culture of humble service.
Sustainability is a foundational principle at Chang Jung Christian University. At this critical juncture in the planet's history, we cannot afford to educate the current generation for "business as usual." We are proud of the University's sustainability achievements, including the River Restoration Center, a joint project of CJCU and the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency. We are committed to educating students who will be at the forefront of the sustainability movement.
We must equip students with skills that will enable them to succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. In this age of rapidly evolving technology, we must prepare them to be lifetime learners. This means that we, as administrators and educators, must also master new technologies to their fullest advantage. We laud the efforts of CJCU's Computer Center in this area.
Chang Jung Christian University seeks to build its relationships with the civic, industrial, and educational institutions in southern Taiwan through active service. As we grow in awareness of our community's needs and strive to meet them, our value in the community's eyes will grow.
CJCU is an institution that cherishes its local roots and seeks to prepare students responsible for global citizens. This means that we must make them aware of the whole world and not just the privileged One-Third World.
These principles will bear good fruit, but only if they are put into practice, practiced well, and practiced over a sustained period. They will keep us on a sure path toward our goal to be the best private University in southern Taiwan and to be a Christian university that changes the world by the grace of God. They will ensure that Chang Jung Christian University fulfills the destiny contained in its name (長榮, Chang Jung, "lasting glory").
Chang Jung Christian University founded the Office of International Affairs in 2006 to advance its goals of global engagement and expansion of its international relationships. Our responsibilities include initiation and development of cooperation between CJCU and international partner schools, supervision of inbound and outbound student exchange programs, coordination of international student admissions, and international students' support.
CJCU is a community of approximately 11,000 students and 350 faculty members eager to extend the warmth and hospitality of southern Taiwan to the rest of the world. The University places a high value on its relationships with partner schools, research agencies, churches, and other organizations worldwide. As a Christian university, we seek to live out a gospel message that is for all peoples. As we press toward the goal of greater internationalization, we remain committed to the beauty and diversity of local culture.
