• History

        Established in 2006 as a transformation of the Social Education Department, the Department of Public Administration and Management at National Tainan University aims to cultivate skilled administrative professionals for both government and private sectors. Its mission is to support administrative modernization and economic development in the 21st century.

Their career prospects will be significantly enhanced after graduation, especially when combined with proficiency in language and information processing.
