In 2017, the College of Business at Chung Yuan Christian University signed an agreement with Temple University in the United States to launch a 2+2 Dual Bachelor’s Degree Program. Under this program, students spend the first two years at CYCU building professional knowledge and strengthening their English skills, then complete the final two years at Temple University. In just four years, students earn bachelor’s degrees from both institutions.
During the first two years, students complete foundational and advanced business courses at CYCU. Starting in their third year, they study specialized business courses at Temple University. Both business schools are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), ensuring the quality and continuous improvement of their business education and enhancing their international reputation.
The program is designed to align both universities’ curricula while emphasizing character development, entrepreneurship, and global perspectives.
The Department of Business Administration at Chung Yuan Christian University was established in 1967. It launched its MBA program in 1983, followed by the EMBA program in 1999, and the Ph.D. program in 2005. Over the years, the department has produced numerous outstanding professionals. Currently, the undergraduate and graduate programs combined serve nearly 1,200 students annually.
Rooted in the university’s philosophy of holistic education, the department emphasizes balance—between professional and general education, academic knowledge and character, the individual and the community, and body, mind, and spirit. Through a curriculum that integrates theory and practice, as well as international academic exchange, the program aims to develop well-rounded managers with expertise, social responsibility, and strong moral values.
In response to global trends in sustainability, the department has recently focused on interdisciplinary learning and industry-aligned training strategies to cultivate talent in sustainable business management.
