Chung-Ang University
Chung-Ang University (CAU; Korean: 중앙대학교) is a private research university in Seoul, South Korea. The university operates two campuses, with its main campus located in the Dongjak District, of the city, and an additional campus in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province. CAU consists of 16 undergraduate colleges and 16 graduate schools.
Founded as a church-run kindergarten in 1916, it transformed into a school for female kindergarten teachers in 1922. CAU was granted university status in 1953. The university held its centennial anniversary in 2018. It has more than 33,600 undergraduate students, 5,200 graduate students, 700 professors, and 500 more part-time teaching staff. The symbol of the university is a blue dragon.
The history of the Chung-Ang University began with the establishment of the Chung-Ang Kindergarten, as an annex to the Chung-Ang Methodist Church located in Insa-dong, Seoul.
The kindergarten was originally founded as a branch of the Jungdong Church in 1916. The kindergarten was separated in April 1918.
The institute established a teacher training program. Graduates were posted in cities across Korea, such Hamhung, Hweryung, Busan, Masan, Jeonju, among others. Thus, the Chung-Ang Kindergarten teacher training program took on the role of a professional educational institution.
In 1922, the program, in partnership with the Community Education Movement of various Japanese resistance organizations, was promoted to a kindergarten teacher training school. However, its official legal status remained as a miscellaneous school.
The institute continued to face obstacles in management. With just ten students, the school was forced to relocate to a private residence in 1932 due to financial and personal circumstances of the management.
In 1933, Louise Yim took over the institute's leadership and was appointed as the principal. Her savings of 30,000 dollars earned from farming, truck driving, and vegetable wholesale operation in U.S. were used to purchase a site at Heukseok-dong, where a school was built. Under Yim, Chung-Ang grew significantly.
