This program offers students an opportunity to attain both an academic and personal appreciation for Singapore. Purdue offers students direct credit in Management and Liberal Arts for participation in this program. Students may earn transfer credit for classes taken in other areas; however, students interested in pursuing transfer credit should discuss this with their academic advisor.

Students may participate in this program during the fall semester (July to December), spring semester (January to June), or full year (July to June).

The Business program offers courses in six specialty areas: Actuarial Science, Applied Economics, Banking and Finance, Human Resource Consulting, Information Technology and Marketing.

The Communication Studies provides extensive opportunities for studies on communication topics and policy issues important to the region and the global economy. Students receive hands-on training as well as a solid grounding in theory in one of the four specializations, namely Journalism and Publishing, Electronic and Broadcast Media, Public and Promotional Communication, and Communication Research.

Students on an academic year program are also eligible to participate in a 24-week full-time internship program. Students take courses during their first semester at NTU, and do the internship the following semester. The placements will be determined when the student arrives at NTU, as most companies require an interview. Where a student is placed will depend on how well he or she does in the interview.

Specific course descriptions can be found in the program binder in the Programs for Study Abroad Office resource room.

The fifteen Halls of Residence are home to some 8700 students. This community forms a massive family unit, actively engaging in social exchange and mutual help. Living in a hall is a unique experience that can only be reminisced about.
