Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the critical success factors for the development of offshore programs by case study on Shu-Te university’s (STU) international programs in Vietnam. It adopts in-depth interview for data collection with semi-structured questions. Informants include the decision makers and direct program managers as well as coordinators from STU’s existing partners. It is found that overall management including human resources allocations and process managements for the progress as well as quality control is the key to the success. In addition, it is believed that without cross-cultural communication that involves confrontations, negotiations and adoptions, the success can never be possible in all forms of international education.
