 AsiaLearn offers students an opportunity
to study in a part of the world that holds
such unique and fascinating customs,
beliefs, foods, and ways of life. Studying
at one of our partner universities in
one of seven different countries in Asia
will expose you to the wonderful Asian
culture and a truly unique educational
experience. AsiaLearn students can partake in a semester/year or
summer abroad program.
"This past semester has been an incredible, eye-opening experience that I know will stay with me for a lifetime. I went to a part of the world I knew almost nothing about. I gained so much cultural awareness, language skills, and life-long contacts that I am sure will help me in the future. I now know there is a whole world I can go to in order to find employment, and thanks to my semester abroad I have the skills and contacts to make it a reality."

Our partner Universities offer a wide variety of programs to fit

of countries, universities, and classes anyone can study in Asia.
All of the universities offer classes taught in English and no prior
language experience is required to participate. The universities
will also provide opportunities to study the native language of
your host country. Speaking an Asian language is a much-needed
global skill that can greatly benefit you in your career.
Cultural Integration
 During your study abroad, AsiaLearn encourages you to get
involved in campus activities and the local community. There
are various opportunities to fully immerse into the culture
by joining clubs or sporting groups, student associations,
and participating in locally arranged cultural excursions in
the area. The AsiaLearn coordinators connect students with
local resources for those wishing to volunteer for community
projects through your host university. AsiaLearn understands
the importance of finding the right combination of academic,
cultural and leisure activities, to take full advantage of the
opportunities for international learning and cultural immersion.
In addition, the AsiaLearn program provides students with
additional ways to become culturally immersed while abroad:
- Travel and Excursions – Many host universities offer student trips and excursions. AsiaLearn in-country support can help with ideas and logistics of traveling as well.
- Language Development – We encourage the addition of a
foreign language within students’ academic plan. In the host country, students will find plenty of opportunity to practice other languages due to the diverse student body.
- On-site Resident Coordinators – available 24-hours-a-day,
our on-site resident Coordinators are available to help with any
cultural integration concerns.
AsiaLearn assists students every step of the way and provides
participants with extensive country and cultural information,
comprehensive pre-departure counseling, and “survival”
language instruction, prior to the start of term. Once in your
host-country our services continue with U.S. staff and incountry
support staff available 24-hours per day.
