National Chengchi University (traditional Chinese: 國立政治大學; simplified Chinese: 国立政治大学; pinyin: Guólì Zhèngzhì Dàxué; literally "National Political University"; abbreviated NCCU) is a prestigious public university at Muzha in Wenshan District, Taipei City, Taiwan. It is well-known for its concentration on the social sciences, law, commerce, communication, liberal arts and for its MBA programs.

History

The National Chengchi University was established in 1927 in Nanjing, China as the Kuomintang's Central Party Affairs School. In 1929, it changed its name to Central Political School, after the "Northern Expedition" victory of the Nationalists in mainland China. In 1946, the National Chengchi University was formally founded, signifying the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War. When the Kuomintang lost control of mainland China in 1949, the university's activities were halted. The university opened once again in Taipei in 1954 to meet the growing demands of tertiary education in Taiwan. At first, it was exclusively for graduates, but in 1955, undergraduate programs were created. In 1964, Yang Bi-li (楊必立) initiated the earliest Chinese MBA education.
