The School of Accounting and Finance

The School of Accounting and Finance (SAF) was established in 2014. Built on a solid foundation of established academic departments, SAF aims to meet Taiwan’s demand for business talents that align with its economic and industrial growth. It has evolved into a well-structured and comprehensive institution with an interdisciplinary mission integrating diverse fields. SAF offers a Doctoral Program (launched in 2019) comprised of the Department of Accounting Information (DAI, including a master’s program), the Department of Finance (DOF, including a master’s program), and the Department of Public Finance and Tax Administration (DPFTA, including a master’s program).

Since its establishment, SAF has focused on improving business education to meet Taiwan’s industrial needs. By introducing technological advancements, renewing curricula, and fostering leadership from a character-oriented perspective, SAF has endeavored to elevate its graduates’ global mobility in response to the increasingly globalized and digitalized world. Confronting drastic demographic shifts, intense international competition, and AI-induced challenges, SAF remains committed to improving faculty’s teaching quality, innovation outputs, and the learning environment. Also, it continues to strengthen academia-industry collaborations, research productivity, and organizational transformation to extend our graduates’ AI literacy and capacity.
