Future Development
The College of Management obtained the accreditation of The Association to Advance the Collegiate School in Business (AACSB). We plan the following developments in the future.
- Undergraduate program not only cultivates students with accounting, finance and management capabilities but also advances the acquisition of professional licenses, such as tax agents and certified public accountants (CPA).
- To meet the specific career planning of graduate students, the master program sets up three modules, including CPA, financial management, and internal auditing and forensics.
- All the students in the EMAB program are from industries. To provide practice-oriented courses, the EMAB program offers courses by both the faculty members and the practitioners. This program establishes “Characteristic Courses”, which comprises internal auditing and forensic, international finance and accounting information courses.
- The Ph.D program employs the concept of STP (segmentation, target and position) to plan the courses deliveries. As regard to the accounting sub-program, its structure differs from the traditional one (segmentation, S). Next, this sub-program focuses student recruitments on the officers of governmental agencies (target, T). Third, this sub-program serves as the cradle of governmental officers with theoretical knowledge and practical application capabilities (position, P). Regarding to the industry sub-program, more accounting and management courses will be incorporated into its core courses to increase the learning scope and expand the range of research topics.
