Brief History

In March, 1958, the Shih Chien College of Home Economics was established. After 39 years, the college was upgraded and renamed Shih Chien University in 1997. In the same year, the College of Management was also officially established.

The College of Management currently has two campuses, each located in the cities of Taipei and Kaoshiung. The Taipei campus hosts seven academic departments and two graduate institutes, while the Kaoshiung campus hosts nine academic departments for students to choose from. The education system here at the College of Management provides graduate, undergraduate, extension education, two-year on-the-job undergraduate, and two-year polytechnic programs, with a total enrollment of close to ten thousand students. The institution's core principal is as follows: Adaptation to the constant advancement of both society and industry is the base tenet of The College of Management of Shih Chien University . Cultivating ideals and implementing them into practical services, enhancing leadership and creativity to produce outstanding management service personnel is the institution's pledge to both the students and parents

Main Principle

The goal of establishing the College of Management at Shih Chien University is to supply enterprises around the world with professional experts - outstanding students that have gone through the institution's programs. These outstanding students will also supply the specialized expertise that will provide Taiwan with the competitive edge in the world market. We believe that by giving us the most vital and valuable years of their youth, we are held responsible for the students- a responsibility which we hold in the utmost importance. As a result, whether it's the diversifying the talent pool of professors, or the scheduling of classes, or dormitory life, or personal needs, all decisions are made with students as the top priority. Therefore, all final decisions that are put into effect ultimately aid the student on the road to excellence.

With the rapid development of e-commerce in recent years, we believe that students who aspire to leave their fear behind and step into the real world must start by building upon four basic fundamentals- K (Knowledge: professional expertise and social achievements), S (Skill: language, electronic, and other types of communication), C (Creativity: imagination without limits), and A (Attitude: sincere learning attitude). By combining these four fundamentals to build the core of competition, then success = (K+S+C) A .

As a result of this main principle, this institution not only continuously upgrades educational hardware and software to provide the best working environment for students, but also actively recruits exceptional professors to add to the talent pool of teachers. Also, the Taipei Campus offers an excellent learning environment. Not only is the Taipei Campus located within the internationally acknowledged city of Taipei , but is also gifted to be the only college in Taiwan to be in geographical proximity to both the Neihu Science Park and the Nangong Software Park . Furthermore, the Taipei campus is located in Dazhi, which is not only the safest area in Taipei , but also one that has the highest standard of living. By using such a gifted geographical location, the College of Management works with an open attitude with enterprises in the area. Not only does this school invite the social elite of businesses to help assist our educational programs or even become professors here, but at the same time we are providing our students with the best opportunity to come in direct contact with professional individuals from the business world.

We firmly believe that only through careful preparation may we give the students a bright future; only be opening closed doors and recruiting more excellent professors into our campus will we be able to bestow society and industry's newest ideals upon students. Only then will our students have the chance to take that leap forward, becoming the outstanding service personnel that are welcomed by all enterprises alike. Most importantly, the College of Management at Shih Chien University possesses the motivation and spirit to turn wistful ideals into genuine actions, and push those actions toward triumphant accomplishment.

Educational Features

Using the above principle as the base tenet, in addition to the professors' vigorous teaching attitude in an open learning environment, the College of Management is a beneficial factor for the students' growth as an individual. On the other hand, by offering the wide variety of professional training and real-world experiences for students that has always been the distinguishing feature of this school; we can provide the professional and proficient education that will provide students with the training they need.

The College of Management also realizes that each student is a unique entity with different needs and potentials. As a result, our programs are chiefly designed to help educate and train students as an individual- we pinpoint each student's potentials and build upon them independently to help them gain a competitive advantage in whatever field the student may choose.

The educational features that the College of Management emphasizes are:

Acquisition of expertise in business and management

To help students attain the international standard in the field of business and management, each of the institution's academic departments actively analyzes the latest related academic programs of other national and international colleges. By combining such research with the latest technology, the College of Management takes full responsibility of providing a solid and up-to-date educational program for students. Also, in order for students to gain a competitive advantage in the e-commerce market era, the institution views training in computer literacy and foreign languages with great importance. Thus, the College of Management particularly reinforces education in these two fields.

Academic program that builds upon the student's potentials.

• Graduate School Preparation Programs: To further one's knowledge past the undergraduate level is a desire for many college students and their parents alike. As a result, the College of Management especially set up graduate school preparation programs- inviting experienced graduate school professors to help teach and prepare undergraduate students for the entrance exam needed to get students into graduate school courses.
• Professional Licenses and the Industrial Module Program: Professional licenses or related certificates are now common requirements for college students finding work. To stimulate and help students acquire such licenses as early as possible, the College of Management specifically researched and analyzed each field of professional licenses and integrated them all together to form the Industrial Module Program. The Industrial Module Program tutors students to help them gain an early expertise in their chosen fields.
• Second Expertise of Integrated Fields Program: There has been a continuous and rapid advancement of industry- mainstream industries constantly changing, new industries frequently forming, Taiwan 's entrance into the WTO, and the cross-straight economic relationship; the result has been the enterprises' new need of individuals with two fields of expertise. Realizing that students need more than one field of expertise to have a competitive advantage in society today, the College of Management has developed the Second Expertise of Integrated Fields Program to train students in two fields of expertise, ensuring students a brighter and more stable future.
• International Sister Institutions and Exchange Programs: the College of Management at Shih Chien University established its first exchange program with sister institutions around the world in 1994. Not only was this college the first to offer exchange programs, but is also one that currently views student exchange programs with the most importance here in Taiwan . Exchange programs of various durations are undertaken by the institution with sister institutions in Europe , the United States , and China . Current institutions that take part in this program with the College of Management at Shih Chien University include: Northumbria University in England, Fachhochschule Wurzburg¡XSchweinfurt in Germany, Hanzehogeschool Groningen and the University of Southern Denmark in Denmark, University of Wisconsin and South Carclia Polytechnic in the United States, and finally, Jiangxi University of Finance & Economics in China. In addition, because the institution uses a fully English academic learning environment for the exchange students who come to the College of Management , our institution allows students who are unable to go overseas to be able to enjoy the vicarious thrill of learning and working with international students here in Taiwan . Not only will students be able to develop their English skills, but it will also be a chance for students to enrich their thinking to a new, global level.
  The institution has worked with international sister institutions to provide several exchange programs for students. The programs are as follows:

• Cross-Straights Finance and Economics Exchange Program: the College of Management at Shih Chien University collaborates frequently with Jiangxi University of Finance & Economics , Tianjin University of Finance & Economics, Fudan University , and Nankai University to launch student exchange programs. This provides students with a chance to become familiar and to experience the development of cross-straights finances and econom
