The Department has an undergraduate program, as well as graduate and doctoral institutes. Full-time faculty at the Department number about 30. Most faculty specialize in Chinese History while the rest specialize in Taiwan History and World History (mostly European or American). Hence, the Department stresses Chinese History, Taiwan History and World History. Undergraduates are required to take general courses in each of the three areas during their first 1 or 2 academic years. We take historiography seriously, so undergraduates are required to study famous works of history, the history of historical studies, and historical methodology.
At the same time, we offer an abundant and diverse range of elective history courses. Our instructional ideal is to provide both specialized courses in history as well as humanistic general courses. The academic range of our graduate students reflects the present state of our faculty resources and of historical research in Taiwan. Prior to the ‘90s, most doctoral students studied Chinese History; since then more and more have been studying Taiwan History. Also, the General History course is one of the course requirements every undergraduate must take at NTU. Our faculty also offer many courses in the general education program. Hence, our historical studies are not limited to esoteric topics in the field; our faculty also offer courses that form the core of humanistic education at NTU.
