Objectives:

 

In 1966, the Department of Banking Management was established under private junior college law.  In 1994, it was revised into a four year program with a new name--Finance & Banking Department.

To keep up with economic growth and respond to the financial liberalization and internationalization advocated by the government, the Department's goal is to supply students with both the theory and practically of finance & banking knowledge and to develop their versatility as financial managers.

The Department accomplished this by providing students with a foundation based on academic study and application of knowledge such as Finance, Banking, Investment, Insurance and Latest Banking Products in order to instill students with capacity of being excellent finance & banking administrators.
