Introduction

Chihlee Institute of Technology (CIT) was originally founded as Chih Lee College of Business (CLCB) in 1964. Initially, CLCB had four academic departments: International Trade, Business Administration, Accounting and Statistics, and Banking and Insurance. The Department of Secretarial Science was subsequently added in 1967. We changed the name of our department from the Department of Secretarial Science to the Department of Applied English in 1999. Our objective is to equip students with a good English command and commercial knowledge to meet the current demands for English-speaking professionals.
