Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA), Taiwan's preeminent conservatory of the arts, offers a highly rigorous technical training for dancers interested in pursuing careers in performance. Ohio State dance majors have the option to enroll for the autumn semester at TNUA. 


Locations
 

TNUA sits perched in the foothills of Yang Ming Shan National Park overlooking Taipei City in the near distance. Campus is a short metro ride away from all the cultural capital has to offer.

TNUA was established in 1982 with programs in music, fine arts and theater and the acclaimed department of dance was founded in 1983 under the distinct leadership of Chairperson Hwai-Min Lin, Artistic director of Cloud Gate Dance Theater. TNUA offers first rate education in the dance. Graduates are frequently employed by internationally renowned companies including Pina Bausch Tanztheater Wuppertal, Bill T. Jine/Arnie Zane Dance Company and the Jose Limon Dance Company.

Courses and Credit

Course options include Chinese Opera, Taiji Daoying, Chinese traditional song and dance, ballet, Graham and contemporary technique. Students must meet with the Undergraduate Studies Committee to pre-determine the equivalencies for the dance courses they intend to take.

Each course a student takes abroad, regardless of the grade received or how course credit counts toward degree requirements, must:
 
  • Be approved via the credit evaluation process; students are strongly encouraged to do this prior to submitting their applications.
  • Transfer back to the student’s Ohio State record.
  • Be completed for graded Ohio State credit. This grade will be factored into the student’s GPA.
Completion of the credit evaluation process does not guarantee the availability of the course abroad. Students are encouraged to have multiple back-up courses approved. Students who cancel their participation for failure to secure approval for desired course work will be subject to the cancellation policy. 

Admitted participants are required to register themselves in the temporary study abroad placeholder course, ARTSSCI 5797.  Further instructions will be provided upon admission to the program.
