Shiv Nadar University, Delhi-NCR, and Arizona State University, USA, have joined hands for an academic partnership that will enable them to offer innovative degree programmes and a variety of collaborative initiatives in the future.
The academic collaboration will enable Shiv Nadar University to offer programs in partnership with Arizona State University. Two dual degree programs in Computer Science and Business Data Analytics have been initiated under the partnership. Students in these four-year programs will study at Shiv Nadar University for the first two years and at Arizona State University for the next two years. Students will earn dual Bachelor of Science degrees from the two universities at the end of the four years of study.
“This is the beginning of a new strategic collaboration with one of the top 1% universities in the world. Our goal is to produce graduates with a unique perspective to imagine a new world. We believe that these types of international collaborations are essential to prepare students to become global leaders and innovators. ASU’s commitment to interdisciplinary and experiential education and its focus on sustainability are extremely valuable to this partnership,” said Professor Ananya Mukherjee, Vice-Chancellor, Shiv Nadar University, Delhi-NCR.

With this partnership, Shiv Nadar University is also part of the ASU-Cintana Alliance, which was established through a partnership between Arizona State University and Cintana Education. As a result of this partnership, Shiv Nadar University students will have access to unique international exchange programs, student competitions, summer immersion experiences, and the opportunity to learn in global classroom environments at ASU and other universities around the world.
“Our work with Cintana is focused on leveraging educational achievements and helping to make them more widely available. Wisdom is seen as something rare, something that is bestowed on other people, and scarcity is seen as something good. That’s not going to get us where we need to be as a species and as a global society. Our goal is to do something about it, on a large scale, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” said Arizona State University President Michael Crow.

The 2+2 agreement will enable more Indian students to avail the opportunity to experience international learning as students will now only need to complete the remaining two years of their study in the US. Upon graduation, students will have the option to work and live in the US for up to three years under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for STEM graduates. Another highlight of the program is an optional ASU Summer Experience at the Tempe, Arizona campus focused on developing leadership skills and learning about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the press release mentioned.
