St. John's University (SJU;Chinese:聖約翰科技大學) is a higher education institution inTamsui District,New Taipei,Taiwan. It is the successor institution of the formerSt. John's University, Shanghai andSt. Mary's Hall, Shanghai, which were well-known educational institutions founded in 1879 and 1918, respectively, by BishopJohn Schereschewsky of theAmerican Episcopal Church.
SJU is accredited by theACCSB[1] and affiliates withCUAC[2] andACUCA.[3]
In 1952, the Chinese Communists forced St. John's University inShanghai to give up its name and merge with other universities. In response to the loss of the school's identity, a group of distinguished alumni in Taiwan resolved to restore their alma mater inTaipei. In 1961, with the approval of the American Episcopal Church in Taiwan, the alumni of St. John's University, in conjunction with the alumnae of the former St. Mary's Hall of Shanghai, enthusiastically donated money to purchase land in the town ofTamsui in Taipei County for the school campus.[4][5]
In 1967, The Ministry of Education authorized the school to open as a five-year junior college of Industry and named it after its location, Hsin-pu (新埔). Nonetheless, its English name—St. John's & St. Mary's Institute of Technology—continued to honor the history and traditions of the alumni's two illustrious alma maters. In 1993, the school was accredited as an Institute of Business and Industry; and then, because of its excellent educational reputation, upgraded its status to an Institute of Technology in 1999. After decades of work to fulfill the aspirations of its alumni at home and abroad, the school's official Chinese name was changed on October 10, 2003, from 新埔技術學院 (Hsinpu Institute of Technology) to 聖約翰技術學院 (St. John's & St. Mary's Institute of Technology). On August 1, 2005, after constant and collective efforts, the school was officially upgraded to a University of Science and Technology, and was able to restore its original school name, St. John's University (SJU).
The founder of the school was Dr. James C. L. Wong, the first Chinese Bishop of theTaiwan Episcopal Church. Dr. Vivien Yen was the school's first president, and Bishop James C. L. Wong was its first board chairman. The succeeding chairpersons have been Dr. George K. C. Yeh( Acting Chair); BishopJames T. M. Pong; and, since 1972, Dr. Cecilia Koo. Past presidents, in addition to Dr. Yen, were Bishop James Pong, Professor William Yue-Jen Hsia, Dr. Yeh Chi-Tung, and Dr. Andrew C. Chang. Dr. Peter Tuen-Ho Yang has served as president since August 1, 2002.
In 2019, the university had an enrollment rate of 43.10%.[6]
