Eligibility
Currently we are welcome international students applying for an undergraduate program or a graduate program at Tajen University to seek for the bachelor degree or the master degree. An international student must have a bachelor degree to be eligible to enroll in a graduate program. International undergraduate students who have not yet completed bachelor degree may apply for the undergraduate program at Tajen University. However, if the undergraduate transcript does not verify graduation, a final transcript must be sent following the undergraduate graduation.
Applicants must have passed all the courses in the schools previously attended. Undergraduate applicants must have earned a “B” average or a standing of 80% for required courses related to their majors and must be recommended by the professors for obtaining scholarship.








Financial Aid

There are international full scholarships available for all of the international applicants. An international student who has full scholarship may be waived from the tuition and fees. International students can also apply for the Taiwan Scholarship offered by the government. Please refer to http://my.nthu.edu.tw/~ocfso/foreign/ for more government scholarships information. However, an applicant must choose only one scholarship if he or she were granted more than two scholarships from either Tajen University or Taiwan government. Work study are also available for international students to work legally on campus, and the pay is approximately US$95 a month.










Cost of Study

Currently undergraduate and graduate students pay approximately US$1,540 to US$ 1,710 per semester for tuition and fees.









Housing and Living Costs

All international students will be provided with on-campus dormitory-style housing. For two-bed room, it costs approximately US$ 720 per semester per student; while for four-bed room, it costs about US$290 to US$420 per semester per student. Living expenses range from US$ 320 to US$ 470 per month. Food service is available for students who live on campus. The cost of food service is around US$ 320 per semester per student. Tajen University will promise to look for some outside financial grants for international students who have outstanding GPA to cover the housing and living costs but will not guarantee for those financial aids.

The Office of Academic Affairs will forward all the applications to each expert faculty to evaluate the applicants’ potential and capability. Tajen University looks for a “B” or better in all the courses applicants had taken in previous institutions. Other admission requirements are set by different departments. Once the department makes a recommendation for admission, the Office of Academic Affairs will notify and send out the letter of acceptance to admitted students.
