The school was established in 1927 in Nanjing, which was the capital city of China, as the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party of China) Central School of Party Affairs (Template:Lang) to train Party cadre.<ref name=":05">Template:Cite book</ref> In 1929, it was renamed the Central Political Institute (Template:Lang), after the Kuomintang reunified much of China in the Northern Expedition. The school was built on the basis of Template:Ill, which was the highest academic institution of the Republic of China. In 1946, it merged with the Central Youth Cadre School (Template:Lang), which had been founded in 1943 by the Three Principles of the People Youth Corps in Template:Ill of Chongqing. The merged school was named the National Political University (Template:Lang, aka the National Central Political University [[[:Template:Lang]]]) and was based again in Nanjing. When the Nationalist government lost control of mainland China and relocated to Taiwan in 1949, the university's activities were suspended.Template:Cn

The university was reopened in 1954 as National Chengchi UniversityTemplate:Efn in the Muzha District of Taipei by the Executive Yuan, in order to meet the needs of civil service and the growing demands of higher education in Taiwan. It became a pioneer for the subsequent restoration in Taiwan of other national universities from China, such as Tsing Hua and Chiao Tung universities. Initially, only graduate students were admitted, but later in 1955, the school began to offer places to undergraduate students. In 1960, the university awarded the very first Doctor of Juridical Science degree in the Republic of China. In 1964, the school initiated the first-ever Mandarin-based Chinese Master of Business Administration program in the world.Template:Cn
