• Department of Social Work

The Department of Social Work at Tunghai University has played an important role in the development
of social work education in
Taiwan's higher education system. In 1974, the Department of Sociology at
TunghaiUniversity had formed a social work group. In 1979, it was transformed to be Bachelor of Social
Work Program, Department of Social Work which became the first Bachelor of Social Work Program in
Taiwan. In 1984, Master of Social Work Program was established and it was the first Master of Social
Work Program in
Taiwan. In 1994, Ph.D program in Social Work was created and again it was the first
Ph.D program in Social Work in
Taiwan. 

Over the years, Department of Social Work, TunghaiUniversity has cultivated many important figures
engaging in Social Work in 
Taiwan. Graduates both from our BSW program and MSW program have 
good employment opportunities after graduation. A large proportion of front line social workers and leaders
in social, non-profit, and governmental organizations are comprised of our graduates. Furthermore, a high
percentage of our faculty members and graduates hold leading positions in professional organizations
dedicated to social work, such as Taiwanese Professional Social Workers' Associations. The numbers
of graduates serving as supervisors in social work agencies as well as department directors in various
universities in
Taiwan are growing each year.
 

Currently, we have 14 faculty members, including 6 full professors, 5 associate professors,
and 3 assistant professors. We also have 3 administrative staff.
