The good reputation of TKU’s in-service programs, in particular, those in business and management areas can be seen in a recent poll shown in the January issue of Cheers magazine, that asked 1000 managers at Taiwan’s business corporations. The result shows that TKU’s EMBA in Decision Making, Graduate Institute of Management Sciences ranks 8th ,but the 1st among private universities as their choice for studying an EMBA degree.

The universities before TKU are National Taiwan University and National Cheng Chi University as the first and second choice respectively. The private universities that made the top ten list are TKU and Tung Hai University which comes right after TKU. The fact that TKU ranks the first among private universities is an recognition of the unversity’s achievement.
