Meiho University has intriguing history which has brought us to where we are today. Meiho University was the first private nursing junior college in Taiwan, but the University is much more than that today. Meiho University was established in 1966 upon the approval of the Ministry of Education. The original name was Meiho Junior College of Nursing, and it was a five-year program with all students majoring in Nursing. In 1984, the two-year program was established. In 1990, the Department of Finance and Tax was established, a two-year evening program was set up, and the school changed its name to Meiho Junior College of Nursing and Management. In 1999, the school became Meiho Institute of Technology (MIT), and it also had junior college programs. Most recently, in 2010, MIT was approved to be renamed Meiho University (MU). Meiho started with only one department (Nursing Department) with approximately 300 students.
