Chang Gung University of Science and Technology (CGUST) is located in Linkou, Taiwan. CGUST began in 2011. According to the school’s website, “Foreseeing the growing demand for high-quality medical personnel, Mr. Yong-Ching Wang founded the Institute with the aim of cultivating talented individuals in society and named the school after his father, Chung-Gung Wang, to commemorate him. A 2-year nursing internship program organized by the Ming Chi College of Technology (now known as Ming Chi University of Technology) in 1983” was the forerunner of CGUST, which has two colleges, a Center for General Education, three graduate programs, six departments and four centers.
