History

Tarumanagara University (Untar) is one of the oldest private universities in Indonesia. Inspired by the Tarumanagara Kingdom, the idea to establish a university first emerged in 1957 by a group of sociologists within the Candra Naya Social Association, then known as Sin Ming Hui. On the initiative of Drs. Kwee Hwat Djien, they agreed to establish a foundation, the Tarumanagara Foundation, on June 18, 1959.

The Tarumanagara Foundation established its first university, the Tarumanagara College of Economics, Department of Corporate Economics, on October 15, 1959, located in the Candra Naya building at 188 Jalan Gajah Mada. The university was led by Drs. Kho Oen Bik as dean and Drs. Lo Kiem Tjing as vice dean.

The Vocational School of Architecture was established on October 1, 1962. This school later became the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Architecture. This faculty is one of the oldest private architectural engineering departments in Indonesia.

In line with the Tarumanagara Foundation's commitment to education and health, the Faculty of Medicine was established on October 1, 1965, with the Undergraduate Medical Education Program and the Professional Medical Education Program.

The political unrest surrounding the G30S/PKI in 1966 disrupted the smooth running of lectures. Consequently, modern language faculties, such as the English Department, were forced to close, and their students were transferred to the Faculty of Letters at the University of Indonesia.

1967 marked the beginning of UNTAR's revival. That year, the campus on Jalan S. Parman was officially opened with a ceremony quite lavish for the time. This inauguration marked the first time an activity at UNTAR was covered by TVRI and broadcast the following day. The inauguration was attended by Jakarta Governor Ali Sadikin and Jakarta Deputy Governor Dr. R. Soewondo, who later served as Chairman of the Tarumanagara Foundation in 1974. The Department of Corporate Economics changed its name to the Department of Management, offering a Bachelor's Degree in Management. In 1972, the faculty opened the Department of Accounting, offering a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting.

Continuing to expand, UNTAR also launched the Informatics Engineering Program in 1992 and officially launched its Master's Program on October 1, 1992. This was followed by the establishment of two new faculties: the Faculty of Psychology and the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design in 1994.

After 2000, UNTAR established two new faculties: the Faculty of Information Technology in 2002 and the Faculty of Communication Sciences in 2006. In 2007, UNTAR's Main Building, built on 31,632 square meters of land, was inaugurated. In 2009, the Executive Lounge and Tarumanagara Knowledge Center (TKC) officially opened.[2]
