Extension Education Center
 
  History :
 

Our center, previously located at Taipei Continuing Education Center of National Chunghsing University, changed its name to Extension Education Center following the founding of the National Taipei University on February 2000. Despite the name changed, the center is still the institution with the longest history and highest achievements in night-time education among universities in Taiwan, offering educational opportunities to a countless number of promising, talented people in our country.

Our center has developed over the following four stages :

 
  • Stage One
    At first, the center offered classes to make-up school credits from September 1955 to June 1961. The classes were started for the alumni of former Public Administrative School that eventually became the school we are today. Students who received passing grades were granted undergraduate credits.

  • Stage Two
    The evening college stage started offering courses in September 1964 to June 1992. At this time, the government began promoting continuing education to enable young working people to pursue a university education at night and asked various universities to set up 5-year evening college program for all women and men who have completed their military service.

  • Stage Three
    The Ministry of Education began the second part of university education phase in 1992. The Ministry created full-time faculty positions for the instructors and expanded student enrollment to high school graduates for 4-year programs. Later in 1993, the government due to budgetary restraints could no longer offer full-time faculty positions to instructors, so the second part of the university education policy could not be implemented. As a result, the Ministry of Education decided to transform the second part of university education into extension education . During this time, our center was developed into degree program education institution. In 1997 academic year , the center changed its name to extension education department and began to limit enrollment to working youths who have graduated for over one year and with no military obligation. This revision had now been in effect for five years.
