In November 2015, NTHU’s College of Technology Management received the AACSB Accreditation, an honor received by only five percent of business schools worldwide. NTHU is the first school in Taiwan to receive AACSB accreditation under the 2013 accreditation standards.

Founded in 1916, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is internationally recognized as the premier accreditation association for business schools. To date, the AACSB has accredited more than 840 accredited business schools worldwide. Thus AACSB accreditation is a major honor and a clear affirmation of NTHU’s commitment to academic quality and internationalization.

NTHU first applied for AACSB accreditation in 2010 and received the accreditation after a lengthy process which includes several phases of evaluation. The evaluation report issued by the AACSB included a glowing appraisal of both the faculty and students in College of Technology Management, as well as its cooperative relationship with the Industrial Technology Research Institute.

In his accreditation statement, AACSB Executive Vice President and Chief Accreditation Officer Robert D. Reid welcomed the College of Technology Management into the top echelon of business schools worldwide, and also acknowledged the important contributions of the college’s dean, directors, faculty, and students.
