Academic Year Exchange Program at Soochow University in Taiwan

The Soochow Exchange Program enables UNT students to attend the Soochow University for an academic year or semester and earn UNT transfer credit.

UNT students at Soochow will enroll in courses as regular students and are responsible for all course work and examinations. Students live in dormitory rooms and participate fully in the life of the Taiwanese campus. Students pay tuition/fees at UNT.

Participating students may enjoy several periods of travel in Taiwan during holiday periods and after the completion of the program in mid-May.
