Reflecting the bottleneck posed by a shortage of Taiwanese instructors that can teach in English, the International College of I-Shou University took a new approach: In September of 2009 it introduced three new departments: international business administration, international finance, and international tourism. I-Shou hired instructors from Europe, the United States and various Asian nations to teach not only the general curriculum courses but also advanced courses for majors.
有鑑於台灣師資英文授課的瓶頸，義守國際學院採取了不同的策略──自 2009 年 9 月開始招生的 3 個新科系「國際企業」、「國際財務」、「國際觀光」，除了通識課程外，專業科目一律重金禮聘來自歐、美、亞各地的外籍老師授課。
