What We Do

Connecting Tzu Chi University to the World

The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) promotes international education and global engagement by creating meaningful opportunities for students and faculty to connect, learn, and collaborate across cultures. Through international partnerships, exchange programs, academic collaboration, and global initiatives, OGA helps expand learning beyond borders while supporting the development of globally minded perspectives and intercultural understanding.

Committed to fostering both academic and personal growth, OGA supports a wide range of international experiences including study abroad opportunities, inbound and outbound exchange programs, dual-degree collaborations, and international academic pathways. These experiences encourage students to explore new environments, strengthen communication skills, and gain valuable international exposure that prepares them for an increasingly interconnected world.

What makes Tzu Chi University Office of Global Affairs different comes down to four things

Supporting International Student Journeys

Staff Support

OGA provides guidance and support throughout every stage of the international experience, helping students navigate academic, cultural, and administrative processes with confidence and clarity. From admissions and application support to exchange preparation, campus integration, and student services, OGA works to create a welcoming and supportive environment where international students can thrive both academically and personally.

International Events

Beyond administrative support, OGA also promotes meaningful cultural exchange through international events, student engagement activities, and community-centered programs that encourage connection, friendship, and mutual understanding among students from diverse backgrounds. Grounded in Tzu Chi University’s humanistic values of compassion, respect, and service, OGA strives to create international experiences that inspire growth, broaden perspectives, and build lasting global connections.
