Tzu Chi University (TCU; Chinese: 慈濟大學; Wade–Giles: Tz’u2 Chi4 Ta4-hsüeh2; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chû-chè Tāi-ha̍k) is a private university in Hualien City, Hualien County, Taiwan. It was founded by the Tzu Chi Foundation (NGO) and is famous in Taiwan for the quality of the medical education it provides. TCU has strong ties with Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation (on the same premises as the university) as well as five teaching hospitals in other parts of Taiwan.[3]
The institution was established as the Tzu Chi Medical College in April 1994. Humanities and social science students have been accepted since 1998, when the name was changed to Tzu Chi College of Medicine and Humanities. In July 2000, the name was changed to Tzu Chi University.
