This university was founded by Dr. Chen Tien-Chi in 1966 under the name - Chungtai Junior College. After almost thirty-nine years, on July 1, 1998, approval was granted to upgrade to a Medical Technology College . Later, on August 1, 2005, the college was upgraded to the University of Science and Technology. Over the years Chung Tai has grown, not only as a provider of technological expertise, but as a sphere of humane and life affirming academic study. The university system is made up of a school of graduate studies, four-year and two-year colleges, and a five-year senior college program. The development of the school to date can be generally divided into four stages: Initial stage (1966-1974): Chungtai Junior College was established and funding was raised. We adhered to the school motto: “loyalty, trust, sincerity, and respect ” in all our undertakings. The school`s establishment, in March of 1966, was made possible through a fund donated by the director of Soon Tien General Hospital - Dr. Chen Tien-Chi. Throughout the following years additional departments were established including Medical Technology, Radiology Technology, Medical Management, Nursing and Midwifery (changed the name to Nursing in 1991).
