To strengthen the intercommunication between Taiwan and our diplomatic allies on agricultural management and policy planning, and in cooperation with NTU's Aim for Top University Project” and academic internationalization, we initiated the Agricultural Economics Master Program in collaboration with Taiwan International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF). This is NTU's first master program designed entirely in English, and all courses are taught in English. Starting from 2007, now we have honored more than 50 graduates from all over the world.

The history of our department can be traced back to as early as the year 1928 when a series of lectures on agricultural economics took place along with the establishment Taihoku Imperial University during the times of Japanese colonization. In 1950, with the termination of Japanese colonization, the previous Taihoku Imperial University was renamed National Taiwan University. Around the same time, the School of Agriculture, together with the Department of Agricultural Economics was established. With a history of more than 90 years, the alumni from undergraduate, master and PhD programs have totaled over 3,000, working in the fields of politics, agriculture, construction, and business.

The purposes of inaugurating our institution include developing scholars and talented people in advanced agricultural economic studies, corresponding to modern agricultural constructions of our country, and aiming for teaching and researching at world class level. There are numerous people nurtured by the Department of Agricultural Economics working in the fields of politics, agriculture, construction, and business. Besides the alumni serving in the politics, other alumni, currently apply their studies to their services in agriculture, construction, business, and finance, have also contributed immensely to the society as well as to the country.

The purposes of inaugurating our institution include developing scholars and experts in advanced agricultural economics, corresponding to modern agricultural constructions of Taiwan, and achieving world class instruction and research.

The pedagogical direction of our undergraduate and master programs is to equip students with fundamental knowledge in economics, accounting, statistics, agricultural and environment resources, agricultural transportation and marketing, and agricultural policies. Our program also seeks to strengthen students’ independent thinking and leadership qualities. The pedagogical direction of our PhD program, furthermore, is to strengthen students’ ability to analyze professional journal articles, to prepare them for further research ability, to develop creativity, and to become advanced research scholars in human sciences.
