Our courses are categorized into four focus areas, 

1.  Organizational Behavior and Theory, 
2.  Multinational Management and Innovation, 
3.  Intelligent Development and Management,
4.  Methodology and Data Analysis, 

which we consider as essential for any business education.

Academic Research Ethics Seminar

As a requirement by the Taiwan Ministry of Education, all graduate students enrolled at universities in Taiwan have to complete seminars in Academic Research Ethics (ARE) which usually consist of three teaching units, where the first two units are lectures, while the last unit is a test. Students of the MBA program are required to attend at least one research ethics seminar before the end of the first year of studies, and to pass the ARE-exam. 

ARE seminars are non-credit-bearing, but will appear in academic transcripts as PASSED with a passing grade of 70%. A successfully completed ARE seminar is a requirement for taking the degree examination of the MBA program.
Every semester, the Taiwan Tech Center of General Education offers eight or more ARE seminars, which are taught by different instructors and focus on different aspects. The schedule and topics of these seminars will be announced on the Academic Research Ethics Course page.
