History

The school began its existence as "Presbyterian Theology School," operated by Yoon Pil Seong of the Namdaemun Church, in 1948. The campus moved from Seoul to Anyang in 1968. It was first designated as a four-year college in 1981, and became a university in 1990, under the name "Daishin University" (대신대학교). The current name was adopted in March 1995. Now Dr. Kim, SeungTae is the president.
