The university that measures itself by who it includes, not who it excludes

3,500 Sun Devils and Thunderbirds from Taiwan are turning connections into careers, strangers into mentors, and a shared maroon-and-gold into a home away from home. Whether you're arriving, advancing, or reconnecting, there's a place for you in it.

What that looks like

For domestic students studying abroad in Taiwan:

  • History and Technology of Microelectronics in Taiwan — A faculty-led summer program giving ASU students a firsthand experience of the technology, people, and culture of the thriving microelectronics industry in Taiwan, complete with tours of semiconductor fabrication facilities and guest lectures from Taiwanese tech leaders.
  • Partner University Exchanges — Semester-long immersive exchange opportunities at premier Taiwanese institutions, including National Taiwan University (NTU), National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), and more.

Four campuses, one very large front door

ASU spans four metro Phoenix academic campuses and eight Innovation Zones, each with its own character and its own set of co-located partners. Wherever you land, you arrive into a community built to help students from Taiwan feel at home from day one.

For students from Taiwan:

  • A ready-made community — Connect with Taiwanese and Asian student organizations among ASU's 1,000+ student groups, where new arrivals become fast friends
  • Support in your language — Work with the International Students and Scholars Center's staff, including Mandarin speakers who understand the journey you're making
  • A taste of home nearby — Find Taiwanese and Asian groceries, restaurants, and community resources across Greater Phoenix's vibrant Asian community
  • A welcome from the start — Get grounded through dedicated orientation programming built for new international students
  • Guidance the whole way through — Rely on the ISSC from arrival to graduation and beyond, including help with CPT and OPT work authorization
