ABOUT IMBA

Brief History

The International Master of Business Administration (IMBA) Program was founded in 2006.  Half of the students are Taiwanese citizens and the other half are from abroad.  We prioritize diversity; not only that our students are from 16 different countries, but also more they are from different educational background with variety of work experience. The 2005 class was made of 78 students of which 40 are from abroad, and the 2006 class was even larger and more diverse.

The program is designed to develop and sharpen students’ business skills to manage enterprises in a global environment.  Furthermore, through interaction between local and foreign participants, the students are able to obtain insightful knowledge of culture differences and cross-culture understanding.  Students will experience both international negotiation and cooperation.

Our vision is:

1. Globalization 2. Professionalism 3. Communication 4. Integrity

IMBA is an independent institute in the college of management, and it is the only institute taught entirely in English. It recuits international students every spring and autumn, and recruits local students every autumn. In the early days of establishment, the teachers came from various department and taught relevant course in English. Since 2008, full-time and project teachers have been hired successively. Our full-time teachers have obtained doctorate degrees from first class universities in the United Kindom, the United States, and France.  Since 2009, it has begun to recruit Taiwanese doctoral students, who will enroll in the fall of each academic year.
