Collaborating School

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)

The National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) has established a sister-school partnership with NJIT under the Huayu Best Program to promote academic exchanges, language education, and cultural cooperation between the two universities. Through this program, both universities aim to jointly promote Chinese language learning, faculty exchanges, and multicultural experiences, allowing more NJIT students and faculty to engage with and learn Mandarin, further deepening academic and cultural ties internationally. NJIT, known for its excellence in engineering and technology education, cutting-edge research, strong industry connections, and prime geographical location, is an ideal choice for students pursuing STEM disciplines globally. As a sister institution of NTUT, NJIT deepens its academic and cultural exchanges with Taiwan through the "Huayu Best Program," offering students more international development opportunities. This collaboration not only strengthens the international influence of both universities but also provides students with broader learning and exchange opportunities, fostering interdisciplinary integration of technology and language education. We look forward to nurturing more globally competitive talents through this collaboration and expanding Taiwan-U.S. educational cooperation.
