As a leading host partner for strategic institutional relationships in East and Southeast Asia, The Asia Institute assists U.S. universities, colleges and high schools to deliver turn-key academic host campus programs for international students who are unable to fulfill their academic requirements on their home campuses. These unique programs, hosted at prestigious secondary and higher education institutions in Asia, offer students the opportunity to remain “on track” with your institution by enrolling in online or in-person classes with the full academic and logistical support of The Asia Institute’s experienced staff.
