HISTORY
Creative Industries have gradually become crucial to a national’s economic revival and industry transformation. Shih Chien University has a long tradition to place creativity as one of its priorities. In order to further bring out the greatest marginal benefit of creativity and industries, the Ph.D. program of creative industries is organized to respond to the world trend.
With the advantage of technology and the convenience of location, Taiwan, a hub of Chinese culture in Asia, is a perfect place to develop creative industries. Taiwan government also draws up plans to develop such industries. However, the prosperity of an industry needs more than just creativity. They require a friendly environment and well-rounded government measures to accommodate their needs. SCU’s Ph.D. program of creative industries is established to research on the possible problems facing the growing industry.
SCU is a practice-oriented university. We place a premium on practical experience and teaching. The Innovation and Venture Institute was established years ago under the College of Management to cultivate high-ranking executives needed for micro businesses. The College of Design is ranked among one of the best 40 design programs by the Business Week starting 2007. With these advantages, our Ph.D. program combines the elements in innovation, creativity and venture business and upgrades creative industries to an academic level.
