The Department of Information and Communication (TKUIC), established in 1998, is dedicated to staying attuned to the evolving information society and its connection with the digital platform industry. It is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates communication marketing, aesthetic design, and information technology.

The curriculum is designed to respond to the wide-ranging changes in the information and communication industry in recent years. Students can tailor their studies by choosing from two options:

The core concept of TKUIC is to train information communication professionals with a strong foundation in social and humanistic knowledge, with a particular emphasis on developing talents for digital content creation and marketing in the AI era. Accordingly, the teaching approach integrates foundational theories such as "Basic Social and Humanistic Theory" and "Information Communication Theory and Research" as the beams, while emphasizing practical lectures such as "Digital Content Creation" and "Digital Platform Marketing" as columns to develop a balanced curriculum that combines theory and execution to construct a comprehensive knowledge base.
