Introduction of Ming Chuan University
Since 1957, Ming Chuan University has become an engine for economic, social, technological and
cultural development in Taiwan. In 2004, MCU was rated by Taiwan government as the best university
for its international and bilingual education environment. Ming Chuan University offers 37
undergraduate programs and 26 graduate programs in 10 schools. MCU’s International College is the
first institution in Taiwan offering bachelor’s degrees through classes instructed completely in English.
The four-year curriculum is especially designed to parallel degree programs in Australia, Europe and the
United States, providing students with broader study options, including the possibility of earning a
dual-degree. Through International College (IC), students may currently enroll in one of the five
undergraduate majors: International Business and Management, Journalism and Mass Communication,
Applied Computing, Travel and Tourism and Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, or post graduate
programs in International Affairs, Applied English, Applied Japanese, and MBA. IC currently has more
than four hundred students from 58 different countries. In 2008, we also selected around 55 students to
advance their studies in U.K, U.S.A, Norway and Asian Region for exchange or dual degree.
Students with good command of English and a sound scholastic background are very welcome to
apply for the International College programs. Prospective students are welcome to contact us at
