The department was established on August 1, 2001, and was known as the Department of Information Management. This department is one of the ten pioneer departments included in Asia University. Moreover, this department included an undergraduate program, a 2-year post-associate program, and an on-job extension education two-year program. A master’s program was included in the department in 2003 and the aforementioned 2-year programs were terminated in 2004. Because of the rapid development in scientific technology and sociology in the department, the name of the department was changed to the Department of Information Science and Applications. Moreover, because of the requirement of teaching students to adapt to rapidly changing social and industrial environments and the large demand for multimedia technology, the name of the department was changed to the Department of Informatics and Multimedia Applications. The name was finalized in 2015 as the Department of M-Commerce and Multimedia Applications, and this department included bachelor’s and master’s programs.
