The University has an undergraduate day program, an undergraduate night program, along with master's and doctoral programs. To meet the needs of people who are already working but wish to continue their education, the University offers continuing education programs leading to bachelor, master's, and doctoral degrees, along with a special undergraduate program for graduates of three-year vocational colleges. The University was founded as the World Vocational School of Journalism. The outer circle in the school’s insignia represents the “world”, symbolizing its aspiration to move as one with the world. A writing implement is a necessary tool for a journalist, and the school’s founder Mr. She-wo Cheng made his pen an instrument for justice throughout his lifetime. He insisted on the ideal that a man of integrity should remain virtuous in wealth, steadfast under intimidation, and incorruptible in poverty. The journalist’s pen has become the highest spiritual symbol for the school.
