National Chung Hsing University

Taiwan, with its cosmopolitan cities, is Asia’s most vibrant democracy, yet it is also a place of stunning natural beauty with mountains and hiking trails to explore and beautiful beaches to enjoy. It combines the customs and folkways of the Chinese, Hoklo, Hakka, and indigenous peoples that inhabit it. Traditional Chinese religions, arts, music, foods, and cultures are all well preserved here and are readily accessible. This program will be based in Taichung. With its pleasant climate, bustling night markets, and scenic landscapes, Taichung offers a unique balance of city life and natural beauty.

Students will take intensive Chinese classes for fifteen hours per week over twelve weeks at National Chung Hsing University. This program will be a direct enrollment program where no BYU faculty director onsite. Students will take a proficiency test at the end of the winter semester for class placement at NCHU. Based on their proficiency level, they will be placed in a class by NCHU and study alongside students from other countries. Please note that all classes at NCHU will be conducted in traditional Chinese. In addition to the language classes, students will participate in a field trip to Alishan, a famous mountain destination in Taiwan known for its stunning scenery, forests, and rich Indigenous culture.
