brief introduction

The north campus is located in Zhongshan District of Taipei City, and the south campus is in Neimen District of Kaohsiung City.

The founder of the school, Mr. Xie Dongmin, deeply understood the traditional Chinese philosophy of "repairing Qi and governing Ping". In view of the fact that family is the foundation of the country and the need to improve the family in order to make the country prosperous and strong and the people's livelihood happy, he decided to establish a home economics school in 1957. On March 26 of the next year, the first home economics school in Taiwan, the private practical home economics college, was founded. The founder also revealed the ethical philosophy of * "practice, practice, and control", so the school named it "practice". The founder said that the practice of naming the school is to expound the life philosophy of the unity of knowledge and practice advocated by Mr. Wang Yangming. The school should teach the students to pay attention to the use of both hands and brain, turn the thought into practice all the time, produce wisdom from practice, exert their strength through wisdom, and finally achieve extraordinary career, benefit the social population, and then practice the ideal of world harmony. At the beginning of the founding of the school, the founder also put forward "one idea: diligence is happiness; three habits: politeness, neatness, and returning things to their original place" as the basic policy of students' life education. This pragmatic and practical spirit of everything from small to large is the most basic school running philosophy of the school.

In addition, in order to implement the concept of "practice", the university takes "practical teaching university" as its orientation and emphasizes the integration of learning and application as its characteristics. In recent years, we are committed to the improvement of teaching quality and school management. We also actively promote exchanges and internships with foreign universities and enterprises, strengthen students' international mobility, and create an international friendly campus. We hope to achieve our vision of becoming a "high-quality practical teaching university in the Asia Pacific region".

If human life is to be happy and society is to be healthy, the first thing is to "straighten the family", and "straighten the family" is determined by the world. Therefore, it is the original intention of the school to advocate the study of family management.
