On 19 December, Dr. Ian O. Williamson, Dean of the Paul Merage School of Business at the University of California, Irvine, made his first official visit to National Taipei University, signaling a new phase in the partnership between the two institutions. 

Dean Williamson was welcomed by President Daw‑Tung Lin, with arrangements coordinated by General Affairs Section Dean Chia-Hui Wang. He was accompanied by College of Business Dean Chi‑Jui Haung, AACSB and International Relations Director Chun‑Yu Lin, College of Public Affairs Dean Min‑Tsann Chen, and College of Social Sciences Dean Chao‑Yin Lin. Dean Williamson later moved to the College of Business, where Graduate Institute of Information Management Director Min‑Yuh Day and College Secretary Po‑Keng Cheng joined the discussions.

Since establishing a sister‑school relationship in 2019, Taipei University’s College of Business and UC Irvine have successfully launched a “Bachelor’s + Master’s Dual Degree Program,” with four students already participating. Building on this success, both sides are now actively exploring a new “1+1 Master’s Dual Degree Model” to broaden academic exchange and student opportunities.

The itinerary included a tour of the College of Business, a commemorative flag‑raising ceremony in the lobby, and a visit to the college’s history gallery. The two deans also exchanged views on attending the AACSB International Conference and Annual Meeting (ICAM) together in April.

Williamson expressed admiration for Taipei University’s achievements in sustainability indices and praised its contributions to social impact. The visit, marked by symbolic gestures and substantive dialogue, has laid a firm foundation for deeper collaboration in the years ahead.

Dean Jia-Hsing Huang of the College of Business at Woosong University, Korea, recently visited our College of Business and held a roundtable discussion with faculty and administrators from several Taiwanese business schools to exchange insights on the process and practical experiences of pursuing AACSB accreditation.

Woosong University is well known for its highly internationalized educational approach, with long-standing commitments to English-medium instruction and industry–academia collaboration. Remarkably, the university achieved AACSB accreditation within just five years of its founding, demonstrating its strong ambition and execution capability in assuring the quality of business education and aligning with international standards. During the meeting, Dean Huang shared the key strategies that enabled Woosong University to obtain accreditation in such a short period, including institutional framework building, faculty development, curriculum design, and continuous improvement mechanisms.

Several leaders from Taiwanese business schools were also invited to join the discussion, including Dean Ching-Fu Yang of the College of Management at National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST), Director Chieh-Peng Lin of the Institute of Business and Management at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and Dean Fen-Mei Liu of the College of Business and Management at Chihlee University of Technology. Together, they exchanged experiences on the challenges encountered in promoting AACSB accreditation and the strategies used to address them.

NKUST, formed through the merger of three universities, operates within a relatively complex governance and organizational structure, making the promotion of AACSB accreditation particularly challenging. Dean Yang shared NKUST’s recent experience of successfully completing its AACSB review, emphasizing the importance of quality assurance systems and cross-campus integration in a merged university. As a member of the AACSB Peer Review Team (PRT), his perspectives and recommendations were especially valuable to the participants.

The discussion was lively, with participants actively raising questions and sharing their own institutions’ practical experiences and difficulties in pursuing AACSB accreditation. The visiting guest also provided concrete advice and valuable insights on accreditation preparation, documentation, continuous improvement review (CIR), and how to respond to peer review teams, helping participants gain a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of AACSB evaluation criteria and practices.

Through this cross-national and cross-institutional exchange, the forum not only strengthened participants’ understanding of the core principles of AACSB, but also laid a solid foundation for future improvements in business education quality and the development of international collaboration.

National Taipei University Signs Partnership Deal with University of Illinois Chicago College of Business Administration

Expanding Global Collaboration in Higher Education

National Taipei University’s College of Business and the International College of Sustainability and Innovation have officially signed a partnership agreement with the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Business Administration, marking a significant step forward in global academic cooperation. The deal strengthens ties between the two institutions and opens new opportunities for research, faculty and student exchanges, and international collaboration.

Under the agreement, graduate students from the two college will be eligible to join UIC’s dual-degree programs, choosing either a two-year MBA or a one-year MS track. Through the credit transfer arrangement, the MBA track could be shortened to a one‑year program. Undergraduate students will also have the chance to apply to UIC during their senior year and continue on to its MS program after graduation.

One of the most notable aspects of the partnership is its fixed tuition structure. UIC will offer a tuition discount of about 35 percent compared to the standard rate for international students, significantly reducing the financial burden for participants.

UIC’s business programs are all STEM-certified, meaning graduates will qualify for up to three years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States. This gives students valuable opportunities to gain professional experience in the U.S. job market and enhance their global competitiveness.

The collaboration underscores a shared commitment by National Taipei University and University of Illinois Chicago to advancing higher education through practical cooperation. According to both institutions, the partnership will foster academic exchange, talent development, and broaden international opportunities for students.
