It was upgraded to the Foreign Language Department in December 2002, renamed the School of Foreign Languages in July 2007, and finally established in its current form in May 2019 through the merger of the former School of International Education and the School of Foreign Languages.
Currently, the school offers three undergraduate programs: English, Japanese, and Translation. The Japanese program evolved from the junior college program in “Japanese for Aquatic Products Trade” founded in 1996; after four years of development, it was upgraded to an undergraduate program in 2000 and accredited as a program for the second bachelor’s degree by the Ministry of Education in 2020.
