Student exchange with Tunghai University coming

Sonoma State students have access to a summer “minimester” program in Taiwan thanks to a new exchange program being developed between SSU and Tunghai University, Taiwan’s oldest private university and SSU President Mike Lee’s alma mater.

Tunghai is offering comprehensive scholarships, including travel, for two students to attend Summer Minimester, a program sponsored by Fulbright Taiwan, the Consortium for Study Abroad in Taiwan, and Tunghai University International College. 

Selected students will spend five weeks in Taiwan taking classes for college credit in English with other college students from across the U.S. and the world. Low-income and historically underrepresented students have been encouraged to apply for the Summer 2024 program. SSU faculty are being invited to teach courses in the Minimester in summer 2025.
