In August of 1989, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, our university was changed from National Taiwan College of Education to National Changhua University of Education. The University had three colleges(NTCU), including the College of Education.

The College of Education was composed of six departments, inclusive of the Department of Guidance, the Department of Special Education, the Department of Chinese, the Department of English, the Department of Art, the Department of Geography, and one institute, the Graduate Institute of Education. In October of 2000, the College of Liberal Arts was established, followed by the Department of Chinese, the Department of English, the Department of Art, with the Department of Geography subordinated to it.

At present, the College of Education includes: the Department of Guidance and Counseling (originally named the Department of Guidance, established in 1971, the Graduate School established in 1979, Ph.D. Program established in 1989); the Department of Special Education (established in 1975, the Graduate School established in 1984, Ph.D. Program established in 1991); the Graduate Institute of Education (established in 1996, Ph.D. Program established in 2003); and the Institute of Counseling for Rehabilitation (established in August of 2003).

In addition to continuing the fine tradition and the educational goals established from the history of NTCE, we are committed to training students to be good guidance and special education teachers in high schools, and training our students to be specialized teachers for other subjects by establishing complementary educational courses for elementary school students and high school students. Meanwhile, we directly target the needs of our nation’s education and economy, coordinate with our government’s important educational policies for deeply researching the specialized academic fields within each existing department, and offer existing teachers the opportunity to advance their study at their post to enhance their  teaching capacity.
