The university's undergraduate offerings are provided through its four colleges: the College of Techno-System Engineering, the College of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering, the College of Construction and Applied Chemistry Engineering, and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as the Division of Liberal Arts.
Two graduate schools provide the university's graduate offerings: the Graduate School of Industry and the Graduate School of Business, Public Administration and Foreign Languages.
The school opened in 1962 as Chungju Technical Junior College (충주초급전문대학), a two-year school. It became Chungju Technical College, offering a five-year program, in 1965, and was nationalized in 1971. However, it was returned to the status of a two-year junior college in 1979. It was moved to its present-day location in 1982. Eleven years later in 1993, it became a four-year university, Chungju National University of Industry.
The university maintains domestic sisterhood relationships with numerous institutions, including Korea's 19 other universities of industry. In addition, it has international ties with eight universities in six countries: the United States (University of Sacramento), China (Beijing University of Technology and Shanghai University), the Philippines (De La Salle University-Manila), Japan (Oita University and Kyushu Institute of Technology), the United Kingdom (University of Westminster), and Australia (Deakin University).
