National Chung Hsing University (NCHU; ),〔The name of the university is translated using Chinese word order. By English grammar rules, it is Chung Hsing National University.〕 colloquially known in Chinese as Xingda (興大, ''Xīngdà''),is a research-led comprehensive university in South District, Taichung, Taiwan. According to Ministry of Education rankings, it is the best university in central Taiwan. Currently, NCHU is among the four universities of Taiwan's Public Ivy - the Taiwan Comprehensive University System. ==History== The university has undergone a number of significant changes. It began as the Advanced Academy of Agronomy and Forestry, founded by the Japanese in Taipei in 1919. After 1928, the academy became a special department affiliated to Taihoku Imperial University (now National Taiwan University). The department became an independent school again in 1943 and was moved to Taichung. After the Kuomintang took over Taiwan in 1945, the school was reorganized and renamed Taiwan Provincial Taichung Agricultural Junior College. In 1946, the Junior College evolved into a higher institution, Taiwan Provincial College of Agriculture. In 1961, it combined with the newly established College of Science and Engineering on the same Taichung campus and the College of Law and Business founded in Taipei in 1949, to become "Taiwan Provincial Chung Hsing University". The name "Chung Hsing" is the Wade–Giles romanization of the Chinese characters 中興 (Zhongxing in pinyin), literally meaning "Chinese national revival". In 1964, an evening school was set up on the Taipei campus. In 1968 another evening school and the College of Liberal Arts were added to the Taichung campus. The University continued to grow in size, but it was not until 1971 that it became a national university and assumed its present name: National Chung Hsing University. The College of Veterinary Medicine was established in September 1999. In February 2000, the Taipei campus including the College of Law & Business and the Taipei evening school was combined into the newly established National Taipei University. The College of Social Sciences & Management was established on the Taichung campus at the same time. In August 2002, the Extension Division and the Extension Education Center was combined into the Extension Division for Inservice and Continuing Education. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Chung Hsing University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
