Introduction: 民國54年，將原商學系擴增改制設立國際貿易學系、銀行保險學系、工商管理學系、會計統計學系等4系日間部。初時，日、夜間部各招收雙班，民國71年開始經擴大後各招收3班，課程規劃除校訂核心課程外，期望能提升學生攸關國際經貿之一般與專業知能。民國81年本校管理科學研究所管理經濟組奉准分割成立國際企業學研究所碩士班，同時歸併入本系行政系統。本系目前共計有大學部日間部3班，進修學士班1班，二技在職專班1班，碩士班1班，碩士在職專班1班等。總計本系每年平均招收約15-20名外籍生及12名僑生，60名以上學生赴海外學習（以大學部B組及研究所甄試生為主）。為因應國際經濟環境變化趨勢，同時改善本系系所名稱不一致的情形，本系「國際貿易學系」擬更名為「國際企業學系」，屆時將與本系「國際企業學研究所」名稱一致。此一更名計畫已經由系務會議、院務會議通過，待經97學年度第2學期校務會議與呈報教育部核准後，於99學年度起正式更名。另於101學年度因應學院整合政策，原於商學院之下，現改隸屬於商管學院中。

The Department of International Trade was established in 1963 in order to adapt to the nation’s economic development and cultivate students with specialized knowledge in commercial affairs in general and in international commercial affairs in particular. In the early stage, classes were only taught in the evenings. In 1965 the Department was reorganized and started to offer classes in both day and evening divisions, with each division enrolling two classes of students per year. In 1982, the Department was expanded to enroll three classes for both the day and evening divisions. Courses offered at that time were mainly concerned with theories, policies, and practices that are related to economics, marketing, finance, and foreign trade. The graduate program on international business was set up in 1992 which offers the degree of Master of Business Administration (MBA). The MBA program, aimed at training middle to high ranking managers for multinational enterprises, provides education and research facilities that are intensive and specialized in the following four areas: international business management, international marketing, international financial management and planning, and international investment decision making.
