Despite the challenges of Taiwan’s declining birthrate, CYCU continues to thrive, maintaining a 100% freshman enrollment rate for five consecutive years. In 2025, CYCU was ranked the No. 1 private university in Global Views Monthly’s “Most Favored by Employers” survey, topping categories such as “Most Preferred by Non-Listed Companies” and “Most Preferred by the IT Industry.”
With its compact yet beautifully designed campus, CYCU blends a serene learning environment with the vibrancy of nearby Zhongyuan Night Market and excellent transport links. Established in 1955, the university’s solid reputation and quality education have made it a consistent favorite among students and employers alike.
CYCU President Lee Ying-Ming attributes the school’s No. 1 ranking in Global Views Monthly’s “Most Favored by Employers” among private universities to its industry-aligned curriculum and strong focus on practical skills. CYCU emphasizes not just academic learning but also real-world application, ensuring students can turn knowledge into problem-solving abilities.
In response to emerging trends, the university actively integrates AI courses with sustainability goals, aligning with global net-zero initiatives and the UN SDGs. Rather than being overwhelmed by new technologies, students are trained to harness them for societal benefit.
Despite demographic challenges, CYCU maintains a 100% freshman enrollment rate for five consecutive years, with 30% of students even choosing CYCU over public universities. This success is rooted in the university’s strong brand and reputation built over 70 years.
CYCU emphasizes holistic education, combining academic excellence with character building rooted in Christian values. With a strong alumni network actively supporting the university, CYCU benefits from both generous donations and word-of-mouth recommendations.
Amid rising concerns over student mental health, CYCU has strengthened its counseling services, integrating resources from local churches and care organizations to create a comprehensive support network. Health promotion and community service are also key parts of student life, reflecting the university’s long-standing commitment to holistic education. This dedication has earned CYCU the Ministry of Education’s “Friendly Campus Award” four times.
President Lee Ying-Ming highlights that CYCU’s mission goes beyond imparting knowledge — it’s about nurturing responsible, compassionate citizens who are equipped to address social challenges. This value-driven approach distinguishes CYCU from neighboring institutions and resonates strongly with students, parents, and alumni alike.
CYCU pioneered Taiwan’s first “College of Intelligent Computing and Quantum Information” in 2022, leading in quantum computing education. The college focuses on developing students’ skills in AI, big data analysis, and system integration.
To support this initiative, CYCU appointed quantum computing expert Professor Chang Ching-Jui as Director of the Quantum Information Center, established Taiwan’s most advanced quantum computing facilities, and partnered with global leaders like IMEC (Belgium) and NVIDIA to drive applications in quantum finance and quantum AI. CYCU aims to become Taiwan’s key hub for quantum research and talent development.
Looking ahead, President Lee Ying-Ming emphasizes that future graduates must adapt to two major challenges: exponential technological growth and geopolitical disruptions. He stresses that cross-disciplinary skills, digital and quantum transformation capabilities are essential, as narrow specialization alone is no longer sufficient.
With this forward-looking vision, CYCU is committed to cultivating versatile, globally competitive talents equipped to navigate a rapidly changing world.
