In February 2018, Tunghai University passed the evaluation of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). In consequence, it is now ranked in the top 5% of Business schools globally, alongside prestigious Business colleges such as the Harvard Business School, the London School of Business, and the Guanghua School of Management of Peking University.

Since its application for AACSB membership in 2012, the College of Management of Tunghai University has rallied all its faculty members, students, alumni, and industry partners to keenly prepare for AACSB’s international recognition. Gradually, the college established a system of quality assessment and strategic management, strengthened its academic power, and raised both the research and practical performance of teachers. Tunghai’s board of trustees also allocated a budget specifically to fund related costs, while President Mao-Jiun Wang led the managerial team of Tunghai to support the College of Management. The accomplishment is the result of the collective effort and determination not only of the College, but the entire university.

According to Dean Hsiou-Wei Lin of the College of Management, the college spared no effort to pursue globalization and effect multi-disciplinary reforms after applying for the AACSB certification. Achievements include the establishment of the all-English Global MBA Program in 2018, the Global Workplace Internship and Professional Development Program, collaborations with several universities for dual-degree studies, overseas alliances with multiple universities (including the University of Michigan and the University of Rhode Island in the USA, Tunku Abdul Rahman University in Malaysia, the University of Liège in Belgium, and Nagoya University in Japan), as well as overseas education and career programs. In addition, the College has also been working with a number of universities in Italy to develop various internship programs, including the University of Perugia, Rome University Tor Vegarta, the Universita IUAV di Venezia, the Politecnico di Milano, and the Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. Over 300 students from more than thirty departments have been to Italy, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, and China to foster their career via such internships.

As the College worked to pursue globalization and prepare for the AACSB, the Peer Review Team (PRT) of AACSB visited the College for a four-day on-site observation in November 2017. By conducting a series of focus group interviews and structured information sessions, the PRT confirmed that the College of Management had reached the newly announced 15 criteria for internationally recognized business schools. The three PRT commissioners gave high recognition to the College’s educational contributions and research achievements in the past five years, and in February 2018 the AACSB board announced Tunghai University’s AACSB global certification.

There are six departments in the College of Management: the Department of Business Administration, the Department of International Business, the Department of Accounting, the Department of Statistics, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Information Management. Additionally, there are also the EMBA and GMBA programs. Receiving the AACSB recognition is a tremendous milestone for the College of Management, but it is not the end of its development. The College will continue to devote itself to educational, research, and practical innovations. The aim will be to broaden students’ global perspectives and leadership capabilities, and to integrate multi-national and multi-industrial alumni organizations and opportunities. It will also reach out to other AACSB business schools for potential collaborations, going further towards its ultimate vision of the globalization and sustainability of the College of Management.
