National Chiayi University (NCYU; Chinese: 國立嘉義大學; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kok-li̍p Ka-gī Tāi-ha̍k) is a public university located in Chiayi City and Chiayi County, Taiwan. It was formed in 2000 by merging National Chiayi Institute of Technology and National Chiayi Teachers College. The University has six colleges, which include seven doctoral programs, 42 full-time master's degree programs, twelve part-time master's degree programs, and 38 undergraduate programs now. NCYU is one of the oldest and largest universities in southern Taiwan.
The history of the university can be traced back to the merger between the National Chiayi Institute of Technology and National Chiayi Teachers College, with the National Chiayi Institute of Technology originally founded in the Japanese era.
The Kagi Agriculture and Forestry Public School (Kano) was established in April 1919 under Japanese rule and reorganized and renamed Taiwan Provincial Chiayi Agri-Vocational School in November 1945. The school was then upgraded to become Taiwan Provincial Chiayi Junior College of Agriculture in March 1965. In July 1981, it became a national college and funded by the Ministry of Education. In July 1997, it was upgraded again to become National Chiayi Institute of Technology.
The Taiwan Provincial Chiayi Normal School was founded in 1957. In August 1996, the school was upgraded to a five-year junior college and renamed Taiwan Provincial Chiayi Junior Teachers College. In July 1987, the college was reformed into a four-year college and renamed Taiwan Provincial Chiayi Teachers College. In July 1987, the college was upgraded into a national college and renamed National Chiayi Teachers College.
In February 2000, National Chiayi Institute of Technology and National Chiayi Teachers College were merged and became National Chiayi University.[3]
