The Chihlee Institute of Technology (CIT; Traditional Chinese: 致理技術學院; Hanyu Pinyin:zhì∙lĭ ji∙shù xué∙yuàn), is a private institution of higher learning in northern Taiwan. The main campus is in Banqiao District, New Taipei City. The campus lies within walking distance of Exit 1 at the Xinpu station of the Taipei's metro rail line.[2]

The Chihlee Institute (pronounced Jrr-Lee) serves over 10,000 full-time students. Test scores required for admission are among the highest for any private university in Taiwan. The Chinese word in the school's name describes a personal quality valued by ancient scholars. The word may be rendered in English as dedication; it connotes personal integrity, attention to accuracy, and diligence in pursuing worthy goals.

History

The school was founded in 1965 in Banqiao as the Chihlee College of Business, a trade school offering associate's degrees in fields related to commerce. The CLCB comprised four departments: International Trade, Business Administration, Accounting and Statistics, and Banking and Insurance. A Department of Secretarial Science was added three years later.[3] The school was also known in English as the Chihlee Institute of Commerce.

In 2000 the school was upgraded by Taiwan's Ministry of Education to a full baccalaureate degree-granting institution. The curriculum and range of majors expanded and the school was renamed Chihlee Institute of Technology.

Buildings on campus wear official names but are popularly known among students by letter names (B Building, C Building, K Building).
