History
I-Shou University began its journey in 1986 as Kaohsiung Polytechnic Institute, welcoming its first students just a few years later in 1990. What started as a technical institute continued to grow, evolve, and shape its own identity. In 1997, this progress led to a new chapter with a new name: I-Shou University.
