The Department of Physical Education at the University of Culture was established in the 52nd year of the Republic of China (ROC). As one of the fifteen founding departments of the university, it has long cultivated numerous outstanding professionals in areas such as sports competition, sports refereeing, coaching, and academic research in physical education. In the 83rd year of the ROC, the Ministry of Education approved the establishment of the "Master's Program in Sports Coaching." In the 95th year of the ROC, a "Ph.D. program" was added, admitting the first batch of students. In the 99th year of the ROC, the Department of Physical Education and the Sports Coaching Institute were planned for integration, aiming to effectively integrate and promote academic research affairs. The Department of Physical Education at Culture University, spanning over half a century, will continue to prioritize the cultivation of professionals in the field of sports as its educational goal.

The university boasts the largest multi-functional sports hall in East Asia. Since its completion and inauguration in the 95th year of the ROC, it has greatly contributed to improving the quality of sports training environments, enhancing the teaching capabilities of faculty members, and deepening students' learning outcomes. The architecture of the sports hall comprises an L-shaped teaching and research building combined with an oval comprehensive sports area, spanning 4 underground levels and 10 above-ground levels. The facilities inside include two three-dimensional courts (suitable for basketball, volleyball, tennis, and badminton), two indoor tracks (for track athletes and student-staff running), as well as swimming pools, gyms, weight training rooms, baseball and golf practice fields, and classrooms for judo, table tennis, billiards, rhythmic gymnastics, gymnastics, wrestling, taekwondo, martial arts, etc. It is the most well-equipped university sports hall in the country.

Starting from the academic year 111, the educational objectives have been focused on three major areas: "sports competition," "sports science," and "sports instruction." Currently, there are 24 full-time teachers. In terms of qualifications, more than half of the full-time teachers hold doctoral degrees. In terms of ranks, there are 7 professors, 8 associate professors, and 9 assistant professors, with the faculty structure aligning with the curriculum planning of various professional fields. This ensures the quality of teaching, meets the learning needs of students, and is more conducive to overall development. To assist students in their adaptive development, multiple counseling strategies will be promoted in the future, encouraging students to choose a second specialization, participate in foundational sports science research, learn professional skills in sports fitness and health instruction, obtain relevant professional certifications, and become versatile young professionals in the sports industry.
