Department of Public Administration at NDHU was officially established on August 1, 2013, and then it began to enroll new university students. Presently, the educational system includes ungraduate, postgraduate, and in-service master.

Before 1994, when the school was first established, the school has already established a MA credit course in Public Administration. In 1995, it began to recruit students who are mainly the basic level of public servants (including central and local governments). The students are mainly from Hualien and some from Taitung, Yilan, Taipei, Keelung and other regions. In 1999, approved by the Ministry of Education, in-service master was set up, the school officially granted the students who met the requirements a master's degree in law.

| Since 1991, the school has added the Institute of Public Administration, which is divided into two groups: the Public Administration and Policy Division of this institute, the Chinese Mainland Division of this institute ( transformed by the Institute of China Research and merged into it ). |
| |
| The school has established Mainland China Research Center since 1994. In the second school meeting of the second semester of 2000, the school passed the transformation project that Mainland China Research Center will be transformed and divided into two groups since 2001. They each focus on China financial law, China and the relationship between China and Taiwan. Since 2002, the Institute of China Research has been integrated into the Institute of Public Administration. In addition, the Institute of China Research was been renamed and established the Institute of financial law by the regulation of the Ministry of Education. Therefore, the establishment of Department of Public Administration is partly inherited from Mainland China Research Center. |
