National Chung Hsing University (simplified Chinese: 国立中兴大学; traditional Chinese: 國立中興大學) is auniversity in Taichung, Republic of China (Taiwan). According to Ministry of Education rankings, it is the best university in central Taiwan.
The university has undergone a number of significant stages of change. 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). But the department became an independent school again in 1943, and was moved to Taichung.
Thus 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 Taipei Evening School was combined into the newly established National Taipei University. The College of Social Sciences & Management was established on 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.
The Taichung Campus contains the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the College of Science, the College of Engineering, the College of Life Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine, the College of Social Sciences and Management, and the Extension Division for Inservice and Continuing Education. It is located in the south of Taichung City with an area of approximately 53 hectares. The university owns four experimental forests located in New Taipei City, Nantou County, Taichung City, and Tainan City, respectively.
