1) What are the main programs of the department?

The Department of Marketing & Distribution Management (MDM) at Chien Hsin University of Science and Technology (UCH) consists of two main programs: Marketing and Distribution Management. The marketing program combines a broad background in the social sciences and the arts and humanities with comprehensive preparation in the major areas of business. Diverse course offerings and professors recruited from outstanding universities or successful businesses expose you to a broad range of marketing ideas and theories. With a marketing degree in hand you will be prepared to compete very favorably in the highly competitive job market. Distribution Management involves a wide range of activities including the selling, distribution, customer service, purchasing, inventory control and warehouse branch management of industrial products. Operations managers oversee a facility workforce, materials, and equipment to meet production and shipping schedules while maintaining product quality, plant efficiency, customer service needs, and a favorable working environment. Quality assurance specialists coordinate the overall design and maintenance of activities related to quality aspects of distribution, such as inspection, testing and sampling. Materials managers plan and control distribution from the acquisition of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, ensuring that the right materials are in the right place, at the right time, in the right amount, and at the right cost. Branch managers have a working knowledge of every aspect of the distribution business and possess a talent for planning, integrating diverse activities, managing money, and working with people.

2)What will the class size be?

3)Is MDM (UCH) education relevant for me?

Whether you enter business, education, medicine, law, the arts, or any other field of endeavor, successful leaders in the 21st century must have not only specialized knowledge, but also management expertise and an understanding of the economic, political, and social arenas in which business functions.

MDM (UCH)'s curriculum is designed to give you the breadth and depth of knowledge to be a successful leader. The combination of marketing and distribution management fundamentals will enable you to understand both operations and strategies, the details and the big picture, the nuances of local culture, and the impact of the global context.

The tools that MDM (UCH) provides in analysis and problem solving can be applied in any context. In addition, you may explore a range of courses at UCH that is second to none.

5)What degree will I receive from the MDM (UCH)?

All students in the MDM (UCH)'s undergraduate program receive a Bachelor of Management degree from the Chien Hsin University. Students declare one or more concentrations within their degree program.

Concentrations and minors are listed on a student's official transcript but do not appear on their diploma. Students also have the opportunity to pursue a dual degree (second degree) with each of the other undergraduate schools at UCH. Students may enroll as a submatriculant in the MBA, or doctoral programs.
