With such expansion, the school changed its name to "DaeShin University" in 1990, and the current name was adopted in March 1995. Dr. Youngsil Kim became the first president of the university since its conversion to university system. He was succeeded by Dr. Seung Tae Kim. Dr. Seung Tae Kim was educated in Korea and the United States (Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania), and has taught at this University for many years before he assumed this position.
