Tamkang University’s "Triple Objectives of Education", which include globalization, information-oriented education, and future-oriented education, were established by the Founder of Tamkang University, Dr. Clement C. P. Chang. Dr. Chang states that “since TKU's founding, these Triple Objectives have formed the primary direction for TKU development". TKU's ultimate goal is to serve the broader community by providing its graduates with cross-disciplinary knowledge and international perspectives. Founded in 1950 as the Tamkang Junior College of English by Mr. Chang Ching-sheng and his son Dr. Clement C. P. Chang, TKU was the first private college in Taiwan. It became the Tamkang College of Arts and Sciences in 1958, before being renamed as Tamkang University in 1980. As one of the first-established schools of higher education, TKU now has four campuses: the Tamsui Campus, the Taipei Campus, the Lanyang Campus, and the Cyber Campus; and 8 colleges, with a total of over 27,000 students, more than 2,100 faculty and staff members, and over 240,000 alumni.
