Taoyi Huang, the incumbent chairman of the board, and Yuan Tsai Lee, founded Tajen Pharmacy Institute in 1966.

When the institute was established, there was only one Department of Pharmacy, a five-year program for junior college students.

Since its foundation, Tajen has been implementing its motto and pursuing the goal of becoming an excellent institute of higher learning.

Tajen was upgraded from a five-year junior college to a university-level institute of Tajen University with affiliate five-year junior college programs since August 1, 1999 by permission of the Ministry of Education.
