History
Reverend Young Shik Rhee (이영식, 1894–1981) founded Daegu School for the Blind Children (대구맹아학교). The school remains a part of Daegu University. The university began on May 1, 1956, as the Korea Social Work Institute (한국사회사업학교) in downtown Daegu. Later, it became a college in 1961 (한국사회사업대학). The Gyeongsan campus was opened in 1979. The graduate school opened in 1973. The school changed from college to university status in 1981 and changed its name from Hansa College to Daegu University. In 2024, Daegu University announced that it would be closing its sociology department due to declining enrollment.See also
