Coming from a science-and-engineering background, CCU Business Administration brought me into an entirely different field and environment. Its complete, professional faculty and thoughtfully designed, diverse curriculum gave me a wealth of management knowledge, while numerous case analyses and group discussions helped me understand the development and future trends of many industries.

The repeated in-class discussions let me absorb professional knowledge and shared experience from classmates across different fields — a true meeting of minds. My existing frameworks were re-examined, reorganized, and refined; I broke free of old thinking patterns, broadened my perspective, and sharpened my mindset toward outstanding leadership.

Give yourself a chance to learn — CCU Business Administration will absolutely transform you and send you home richly rewarded.

Hello to all my peers in the industry. I have worked in construction engineering for 30 years, and along the way I came to feel my greatest weakness was business management. The Department of Business Administration at CCU was my first choice.

I first applied in 2013, but regrettably did not pass the review. That setback did not discourage me — it made me all the more determined to better myself. Over the next ten years I made full use of my time outside work to read management books and continually build my knowledge. In 2023, I realized my dream of entering CCU.

Classes this year meet only on Saturdays, all day, which fits my rhythm of life without inconvenience. The learning has been a delight: the professors teach with humor and warmth, and I can integrate what I learn directly into my work. I also get to share cases and discuss them with classmates from all walks of life — precious experience that practical work alone cannot provide.

I'd like to share an important message with friends in the industry: age is never a barrier to pursuing knowledge. The world keeps advancing, and continuous learning is the key to staying competitive.

Hello to all future juniors, and welcome to the CCU admissions information session. In this era of rising prices and fierce competition, improving yourself is the only sure path to success — and CCU is your first step toward it.

The first thing to prepare is the written review, which has two parts: a personal autobiography and recommendation letters. Having studied and worked, you have surely known all kinds of success, failure, and small joys — share the reflections these experiences brought you. Describe simply what prompted you to want to keep studying; sharing your experiences helps us know you better. Recommendation letters can be written by a former professor or your direct supervisor at work.

The second thing to prepare is the interview. Recalling the exam-day nerves of worrying you're underprepared, we hope you'll arrive with a calm, everyday mind. Give a simple introduction of your current situation so the professors get to know you, then let the conversation build mutual understanding. Keep it simple and to the point, and show your best side.

The hardest thing in life is taking the first step — and by coming this far you've already taken two. Let CCU walk the rest of the way with you. Wishing all future juniors every success — see you at CCU!

Hello to all future juniors. The first stage is the written review, in two parts: a personal autobiography and recommendation letters. Writing these is much like applying for a job — introduce yourself concisely, cover your study experiences (clubs, competitions, and the like) and your performance at work (whether in a management role or not), and finally explain why you want to return to study, sharing your achievements, experience, and life plans so the school understands your journey.

For recommendations, you can ask your direct supervisor (or boss) and former teachers to write on your behalf; if you happen to know a prominent public figure, that is another option.

As for the interview, honestly there's no need to over-prepare — we are all seasoned professionals with rich life experience. What the professors ask is meant to understand your own views, not whether you follow popular opinion. There are no standard answers; the "answer" is the essence distilled from each person's perspective after discussion.

Finally, truly approach it with a calm, everyday mind, converse with focus, and leave a good impression — that matters most. Wishing you all the best; see you next year!

With a cross-disciplinary perspective and the arrival of the AI era, the knowledge you gain at CCU can absolutely be applied to work in these times of great change. Welcome to the CCU Business Administration EMBA working-professional program!

Before you eagerly step in, here is a two-stage guide to help you become our future junior.

Stage 1 — Written review. Prepare: (1) a copy of your highest-degree diploma; (2) proof of employment; (3) an autobiography or statement of academic/professional achievements; (4) recommendation letters from a teacher or supervisor.

Stage 2 — Interview. In a conversational style, the professors interview candidates together and ask about three questions, for example: (1) Why did you choose to study at CCU? (always asked); (2) What do you consider the biggest challenge in management today? (3) A current hot topic in your industry (such as AI). With your rich work experience, you can handle these with ease.

After completing both stages, outstanding juniors will soon meet everyone next year. I look forward to learning and growing together with you.

Perhaps, like me, you haven't picked up a pen in a long time, and hearing about the "review" materials feels like a great weight bearing down. But this is a rare, valuable chance to face yourself. No need for lengthy padding — use the application form's existing structure as a springboard to lay out your career journey and workplace insights. Beyond presenting your key milestones, recommendations from supervisors and colleagues are what draw the professors' attention and confidence.

1. Written materials: present yourself without needless verbiage; set out your autobiography, key experiences, professional reflections, and accomplishments; and let your recommendations convey your self-discipline and drive.

2. Interview: after preparing the written materials, rehearsing for the interview leaves you steady and confident. Prepare a short, distinctive self-introduction; speak to the point in an orderly way to give the interview an easy rhythm; reflect on why you chose CCU and your motivation for applying; and think through your workplace insights and how you face and solve problems at work.

Then, with sincerity and firm resolve, step forward toward becoming a member of CCU!

Hello everyone, I'm a CCU student from the AY113 class. Because my father once gave a talk here and shared his life story, I was inspired by him and, on his recommendation, decided to study at CCU. Taipei and Chiayi aren't close, but the distance hasn't dimmed my passion for learning in the slightest.

On this journey I've come to understand the importance of the written review, which has two parts: the autobiography and recommendation letters. My autobiography covers the challenges and achievements I met through study and work, sharing how these shaped my hopes for the future and made me realize the importance of continued learning. For recommendations, I plan to ask professors who have mentored me or supervisors at work, so their insights help me show my true self.

Next is the interview. Whenever I think of facing the examiners I feel a little nervous, worried I'm underprepared. But I remind myself to stay calm, introduce my situation simply so the professors understand me, and in conversation give my best and show my enthusiasm for learning.

The hardest thing in life is the first step — and I've already taken two. Let's move forward together; I look forward to days full of inspiration and growth at CCU. Wishing all future juniors every success — see you at CCU!

After graduating in 2023 from the two-year working-professional program at Nankai University of Technology, I was recommended by Nankai's Professor Chen Jing-huan — himself a CCU Business Administration alumnus — and had the chance to enter CCU and begin a whole new learning journey.

CCU's faculty is excellent and its curriculum refined and diverse. Throughout my studies I accumulated rich management knowledge, and through case analysis and group discussion I gained a deeper understanding of the development trends and future direction of various industries.

In class, exchanging with classmates from different backgrounds, I absorbed their professional experience and viewpoints, which sparked more innovative thinking. At the same time, I re-examined and continually refined my own thinking framework — a process that helped me break old patterns, broaden my horizons, sharpen my agility of thought, and gradually build stronger leadership ability.

Choosing to study at CCU Business Administration has undoubtedly been a precious experience that pushed me to grow and transform. This journey is absolutely worth it.

Hello to future classmates of the CCU MBA working-professional program. I have worked in several countries and spent more than a decade as an entrepreneur, so I deeply understand the necessity and importance of returning to school. Beyond sharpening my management knowledge, class discussions let me see how different industries think, find different answers, spark new ideas, and keep up with the times.

When preparing my written application, I detailed my important study experiences and motivations, along with my career growth, key goals, and drive, so the school could better understand my past, the difficulties I faced and how I overcame them, and what made me decide to return to study — and what I hoped to gain by coming back. To prepare for the interview, I gathered many possible questions and thought through my answers, reaffirming my original intention and goals. At the interview I provided a one-page résumé so the professors could quickly grasp my background and key career milestones. I also asked respected professionals I'd worked with and important clients to write recommendations, so the reviewers could understand my performance and attitude at work.

Since joining the CCU MBA working-professional program, I'm even more convinced it was the right choice. Whether in expanding knowledge and insight or in growing my network and resources, everything has exceeded my expectations. I'm sure that you, too, will be glad you made this excellent choice. See you next year at the CCU MBA program!

I'm an overseas Chinese from Malaysia; I completed all my education there before coming to Taiwan to work. For an overseas Chinese with a foreign degree, earning a place in Taiwan's workplace is truly not easy. After many years of work, I decided to pick up my school bag again and return to campus to better myself.

After preparing my autobiography and asking my supervisor to write a recommendation letter, and passing the interview, I arrived at CCU in Chiayi to begin a fresh chapter of study.

I currently work and live in Hsinchu County. Here's why I gave up northern schools to study in Chiayi:

1. CCU Business Administration professors are serious about teaching the latest theory and practice. The faculty has one of the highest proportions of Ph.D. graduates in the country, each a seasoned, top choice — and they also value practical application and holistic well-being.

2. The program's degree is an MBA recognized by top universities worldwide — different from a typical EMBA.

3. Classes are concentrated on Saturdays, with the flexibility to attend online.

For all these reasons, please trust that the CCU Business Administration working-professional program is the right choice — let CCU walk this road with you!

Hello, everyone. Before 2014 I moved through politics, international logistics, and then investment in Taipei; after 2014 I returned to my hometown to begin a second chapter as an education-sector entrepreneur. Only those who've been through it truly taste the hardship of starting a business — buying management books myself, taking consulting courses, even crossing into new remote business models during the pandemic — all of which made me feel seriously out of step with the world's new rhythms. That was the moment my motivation to "study again" was born.

The admission has two stages: pass the written review, then the interview. The written review is a data sheet plus recommendation letters. The data sheet is divided into autobiography, work reflections, and professional performance — you condense your career and life experience into one page each. My approach was to list the key turning points of my career in segments, writing briefly about the distant past and in detail about the recent. Patents or proof of work performance are ideal; I had none, so I attached my business license. And because of time and not wanting to owe favors — with no friends already studying at CCU — I didn't ask other seniors for recommendations.

As for the interview, it's three committee members with three questions, one of which is always "Why did you choose CCU?" CCU truly was my first choice; I also applied to two others closer to home for convenience, and was admitted to all three. Why still choose CCU despite the very inconvenient commute? Because during the interview I could already sense the professors here really know their stuff — plus the campus is beautiful and the facilities are good. Most importantly, a working-professional program's diploma is only truly valuable when issued under proper higher-education authority.

From the start of the semester until now, even with Saturday-only classes, every professor's expertise more than makes up for my fatigue. I've learned a great deal from the in-class interaction — real learning, not just food, fun, and socializing. Making the right choice in life is rare, and for me that choice is CCU.

As a farmer's child, the most important tasks of my school years were fertilizing the fields, spraying, replanting seedlings, and pulling weeds — so I had little chance for formal education and could only attend evening classes, and I wasn't strong academically. But as I took the entrepreneurial road and met more and more colleagues, I came to realize that beyond professional skills I needed to "change my brain" and gain far more knowledge and management ability.

I did a lot of homework before applying. Many EMBA programs in Taiwan are about horseback riding, marathons, or golf; I genuinely wanted to learn, so I chose the CCU working-professional MBA.

In preparing the review materials, the most important thing is to let the professors see your drive to keep studying and your reason for choosing CCU Business Administration. I briefly explained my situation in my autobiography, so during the interview the professors asked questions about it, again confirming why it had to be CCU — and I was admitted.

In my view, the materials don't need to be fancy or full of glorious achievements. As long as you introduce yourself well, answer the professors' questions sincerely, and let them understand the intention behind your wish to apply and your determination to keep moving forward, you have a great chance of becoming our junior.

"You've got to try — if you don't, how will you know?" If, like me, you've ever doubted your abilities or felt that further study wasn't meant for you, don't be afraid. As long as you're willing to take that step, whatever your background, if you have the heart to learn and grow, the CCU working-professional MBA is where your dream begins. Apply bravely — we're waiting for you at CCU!

For most people deciding to return to campus, the two big expectations are a "degree" and a "network." Of course, many by this stage already have a family, children, and their own business — so if you're really going back, do you still have the capacity for one more "bold venture"? Let me share from my own experience. At the time I was admitted to both CCU Business Administration and NCHU Finance; after a multi-faceted assessment and advice from an HR review, I drew five conclusions that may point you toward your choice — and why CCU suits you.

Five reasons to study at CCU Business Administration:

• Employers like it: In the 1111 Job Bank rankings, CCU Business Administration places among the top three "most employer-satisfying" management programs at national universities in central and southern Taiwan.

• Flexible learning: Classes only on Saturdays, so you can work on weekdays without rushing after hours — a more flexible balance of career, family, and study.

• A diverse network: Unlike more regionally concentrated schools in central and southern Taiwan, classmates are more likely to come from the north, center, and south — a broader networking platform.

• Reasonable tuition: With mortgages and car loans already heavy, school shouldn't cost a fortune; compared with other national universities' working-professional master's programs, CCU's fees are reasonable.

• A formal degree: On completion, your diploma reads "Master of Business Administration," not "working-professional master's class."

Finally, whether you seek promotion, a wider network, or self-fulfillment through learning, CCU's scholarship and resources can help you become the "self" you want to be. Give yourself a chance, invest in yourself, and complete a bold new venture in life.
