This program collaborates with the Taiwan United University System, with three other institutions (National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Tsing Hua University, and National Central University) to offer courses. During course selection, students have the option to take classes at any of the four campuses (Chiao Tung Campus, Yang Ming Campus, Tsing Hua Campus, and Central Campus). The required courses are held at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, leading to instances of cross-campus course selection.
