The History Department of Tunghai University was set up since the establishment of the University (in 1955).
|
||
It has been in existence for more than 60 years, and is one of the history departments in Taiwan with a long history.
|
||
The Graduate (Institute) of History was set up in 1970.
|
||
When the Department was set up, it was headed by Professor Chong-Hong Liu who originally taught in the History Department of National Taiwan University, and there were the other professors such as Yan-Feng Chu, Wen-Zheng Lan, Le-Tong Chi, Shao-Chen Yang and Malone ( Surname).
|
||
In the following 20 years, because the University was a member of the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia（UBCHEA）, there were a number of foreign teachers recruited.
|
||
The Department adopted a small-class system from the first to the 17th year, and there were only a dozen graduates each year.
|
||
The goal of the Graduate Institute is to cultivate talents in historical research, and most alumni teach in colleges and universities.
|
||
Since 1972 the United Board gradually decreased its support to the University.
|
||
The Department began to increase the enrollment quota, and there was a turnover of the teachers as those who joined the University since its establishment gradually retired and new teachers joined.
|
||
However, the Department has always been committed to teaching.
|
||
Currently the Department recruits 58 freshmen and the Graduate Institute recruits 8 each year.
