Features of EMBA
Systematic Management Training
The EMBA program curriculum consists of four major field divisions: basic management, business functions, advanced management, and business environment. It also prepares management personnel in handling critical issues. Topics including public relations, business negotiations, social responsibility and business ethics are incorporated into the curriculum. Ultimately, NUYSU College of Management hopes to prepare students for adapting to a complex and changing business environment.

Multi-dimensional Learning Environment
Realizing senior management personnel are already capable of fulfilling their job assignments. Our college further emphasizes the learning process and practical achievements rather than management theories. Hence, the EMBA program comprises of lectures, case studies, group discussions, professional seminars and presentations. We also use venues other than lecture halls for classes to be held. These include studios, company sites, and other universities in Taiwan. By having classes at sites where students work, it acts as on the job training.

Inter-industry Exchanges
Our college focuses on multi-industrial learning. Our students originate from industry sectors such as finance, insurance, metallurgy, architecture, chemical, electronics, electrical appliances, food, pharmaceutical, health, auto, department stores, media, cultural, and tourism. One problem from a particular industry is often a problem in another business environment. Consequently, it is wise to learn from other business sectors for their experience in resolving problems. The EMBA students are some of the program’s greatest assets. Their individuality, diverse occupational, and standards of excellence enrich the program experience.

First-class Faculty
The College of Management is research-oriented and aimed at the exploration of management knowledge and the training of top-quality business managers. Our faculty is very cosmopolitan. Over 94% of our 86 full-time faculty members received their PhD degree from universities in the US, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, and Korea. The variety provides a very good combination of international experience. We also have guest speakers from both the public and business sectors to share their knowledge and experience from which learning comes alive.

Global Training
As business becomes increasingly global, managers require new skills .The NSYSU EMBA program develops students’ global perspective through international business courses and interactions with visiting scholars. Overseas visiting tours are also integrated into the curriculum. Exchange students visiting NSYSU help enrich classes as well, bringing with them different perspectives and new ideas from around the world.
Team Partnership and friendship

An important part of any learning environment is the people who share the journey with you. This is especially true of executive learning, where each participant brings valuable experience and expertise into the classroom.

The intensive EMBA program experience fosters a spirit of co-operation and teamwork that will be evident in everything from study groups to social events. Beyond the rich educational experience, the reward is a lifetime network of friends and business contacts.
