Chung Hua University (CHU) was founded by a group of entrepreneurs who were ardent proponents of education in Hsinchu local areas to realize technological education, assist the development of local industries, and promote regional extension education. In response to a government call to nurture higher professional talents for national development on the one hand, and to fulfill their grand wishes to feedback the society with whatever earned from it on the other, the entrepreneurs set up Chung Hua Polytechnic Institute, the predecessor of CHU, in March 1990 before it started recruiting student in July.
We, Chung Hua University, are an outstanding educational institution with the mission of nurturing and shaping future leaders to better society. We, the community, foster a spirit of Diligence, Integrity, Compassion, and Innovation. We, the organization, committed to providing our students with quality education, enhanced by our drive toward industry-university collaboration.
CHU is the first university in the country that affects the universal education of innovation and creation. Besides, CHU is the only higher academic institution in Hsinchu and Miaoli counties with the College of Architecture and Design and College of Tourism. Both colleges may facilitate educational programs development concerning intelligent green buildings and tourism – two of the six critical industries designated by the government to support national economic growth.
CHU emphasizes five guidelines for students to cultivate on campus to make a holistic “sunshine youth” – healthy and robust body sound personality enthusiastic for knowledge and wisdom service inclination and artistic tastes. CHU encourages volunteer services by promoting a one-department-to-serve-one-neighborhood project so that concept of community care may be developed among students. Besides, CHU had invited Dr. Chien Fu, ex-president of Control Yuan, to be the honorary Dean of Chung Hua Residential College.
CHU has become a comprehensive university consisting of College of Engineering, College of Management, College of Architecture and Design, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Computer Sciences and Informatics, and College of Tourism.
