History
The Department of International Business at National Taipei University of Business (NTUBIB) was formerly the Department of International Trade at National Taipei Junior College of Business (NTJCB), a 5-year junior college established in 1969. In 1984, a 2-year college with night courses was established. In 2001, NTJCB was restructured as National Taipei College of Business (NTCB). In 2002, NTCB’s International Trade Department established a 2-year secondary night course college program and was renamed as the Department of International Business. In 2004, NTUBIB set up both a 4-year college and 2-year secondary college program with night courses.
In addition, NTUBIB applied for permission from the Ministry of Education to establish a Business Master’s program with the Department of Business Management and Department of Information Management. In 2004, NTUBIB enrolled 5 students in its International Business Master’s program. In 2008, NTUBIB closed down its 2-year college and formally set up the International Business Graduate School, enrolling 15 students.
The Department and Graduate School of International Business (NTUBIB) has trained a great number of outstanding alumni in the business field through a superb blend of thorough instructional planning, strict regulations, and refinement of professional skills.
Over the past several decades, NTUB students' choices of careers have changed tremendously with the rise of e-business and the change in the international environment and structure of industry. To adapt to this environment and to increase NTUB students’ competence, NTUBIB set up the first International Business 4-year college in Taiwan in 2002.
