The Department of Accounting was founded in 1963 and is the largest accounting program in Taiwan. The department has been through gradual changes where the baccalaureate, master, and doctoral programs were inaugurated in 1963, 1994, and 2004, respectively. Specifically, the department offers an undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Science), two master’s degree (Master of Science, and Executive Master of Business Administration with a major in Accounting), and a Ph.D. degree. The Bachelor Science in Accounting degree program prepares students for professional accounting positions in the public, private, and governmental sectors. This program also provides most of the education background necessary to complete the Certified Public Accountant Examination or other major professional examinations.
