ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The International MBA (IMBA) program offered by National Chengchi University (NCCU) has
dual accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the
European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), a key indicator of our quality resources in
business education.
The IMBA program is designed to develop qualified candidates to be leaders in the field of
international business, with a special focus on the Asia-Pacific region. With the continued growth
of Asia’s emerging economies and the expansion of firms on a global scale, the NCCU IMBA
offers the perfect venue for international candidates to learn about Asian economies.
The IMBA program requires a minimum of 42 credits to graduate. Required courses account for 24
credits, including Business Quantitative Methods, Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethics,
Financial Management, Leaders Forum, Leadership and Team Building, Accounting, Managerial
Economics, Management Information Systems, Marketing Management, and Strategic
Management. The elective courses fall under four areas of concentration: Entrepreneurship,
Finance, Management in Asia and Marketing. Students have the option of taking the required
number of courses to achieve a concentration or take courses across concentrations to graduate with
a General MBA.
The IMBA program provides an optimal international and multicultural learning environment by
maintaining balance between Taiwanese and international students admitted to the program. The
international students represent professionals from over 35 countries in 5 continents. They are
guided by our faculty base comprised of academics and industry experts in Taiwan and from
around the world.
The IMBA faculty come from three equally qualified pools of local and international talent. A third
of the instructors hail from faculty members of the College of Commerce at National Chengchi
University (CNCCU), most of whom have earned Ph.Ds from prestigious universities around the
world. Another third of the faculty represent renowned scholars from top overseas business schools
as visiting instructors and a final third of the faculty are comprised of industry senior executives
who have long standing real-world business experience.
The international aspect of each and every area of the IMBA, including the courses, student body,
and faculty, make this program truly unique. What further differentiates the IMBA from other MBA
programs are the featured courses that integrate our expertise in Asia provided under the
Management in Asia concentration. Aside from developing a global view in world business trends,
it is just as essential to gain an Asian perspective of business. Our program is the perfect conduit
for learning all about this growing region.
