Upon graduation, they will receive two degree certificates, one each from MCU and UTCC.
After graduating, they may pursue their IMBA at MCU’s US campus located in Michigan of the United States. This is also a two-degree program, jointly offered by MCU and one of the Michigan state universities, Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU). As a MCU graduate, students get to enjoy special privileges (i.e., in-state tuition, scholarship, and conditional offer) offered only to MCU graduates. After completing the program, graduates are eligible to stay in the US for one year with an occupational practical training visa.
Notes:

2. Whether students can successfully go to study at MCU’s International College in Taiwan depends on whether they can obtain a visa to Taiwan. The schedule is contingent on students’ actual application for and receipt of a Taiwan visa. If students have some special situation and cannot head to Taiwan, they can complete their study in Thailand for the whole 4 years and still receive two degrees.
