Chang Gung University of Science and Technology

Chang Gung University of Science and Technology (CGUST) is a legally and organizationally separate university from Chang Gung University (CGU) — the two are distinct institutions under Taiwan's Ministry of Education records, though both descend from the same Chang Gung Medical Foundation lineage founded by Wang Yung-ching, and both are named after his father, Wang Chang-gung. CGUST's own roots trace to a two-year nursing internship program run under Ming Chi College of Technology starting in 1983. In 1988, Wang Yung-ching established Chang Gung Institute of Nursing as an independent two-year junior college. It became a five-year nursing program and was renamed Chang Gung Institute of Technology in 1991, began offering four-year bachelor's degrees and opened a second campus in Chiayi in 2004, and was renamed Chang Gung University of Science and Technology in August 2011.

長庚科技大學（CGUST）與長庚大學（CGU）是教育部登記上各自獨立的兩所學校，並非同一所學校，惟兩校皆源自王永慶先生創辦的長庚醫療財團法人體系，校名亦皆取自其尊翁王長庚先生。長庚科大的前身可追溯至1983年附設於明志工專的二年制護理專科班；1988年，王永慶先生創立獨立的「長庚護理專科學校」；1991年改制為五年制並更名「長庚技術學院」；2004年增設四年制學士班並於嘉義設立第二校區；2011年8月改制更名為長庚科技大學。
