History
Nanhua University was inaugurated in 1999. The university aims to propagate the traditions of ancient Chinese academies, rebuild humanism, and establish a university of the 21st century. Nanhua University began with the College of Management, followed by the College of Humanities and the College of Social Sciences. The Ministry of Education was impressed by Nanhua University's unique educational beliefs, teaching quality and environment, mentorship programs and students' personal growth, and granted full university status to the University three years after its establishment.
In 2006, Nanhua University further expanded to include a College of Science and Technology and a College of Arts. It has become the only general university that offers a comprehensive approach to the humanities, arts, management, and science and technology in Chiayi, Taiwan.
