Celebrating a New Partnership
ASU Welcomes MUT to the
ASU-Cintana Alliance
Watch a special message from Nancy Gonzales, Executive Vice President and University Provost at Arizona State University, as she welcomes MUT to the ASU-Cintana Alliance and highlights the impact of this global partnership.
Through this strategic collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU), ranked #1 most innovative university in the United States for 11 consecutive years (U.S. News & World Report, 2016-2026). MUT has joined the ASU-Cintana Alliance, a global network of pioneering universities that share a common mission: to transform higher education and equip students to lead in a rapidly evolving, innovation-driven world.
At MUT, students will gain more than just a degree — they’ll experience a truly international and innovation-forward education, delivered in Thailand. As a Powered by ASU institution, MUT integrates ASU-enhanced curriculum, cutting-edge digital learning tools, and global teaching practices into its programs. Students will also benefit from opportunities to engage directly with ASU faculty, participate in immersive global learning experiences, and earn additional ASU certifications to complement their MUT degree.
Looking ahead, MUT is building clear, international pathways for qualified students to progress their studies seamlessly at Arizona campuses or through ASU Online — allowing them to expand their global perspective while leveraging the academic foundation established at MUT.
This is more than an international collaboration — it’s a reimagining of what Thai higher education can be.
It’s an education shaped by innovation, driven by global collaboration, and rooted in MUT’s mission to develop the next generation of leaders, technologists, and changemakers — ready to succeed wherever the future takes them.
Why does this matter for the students?
At Mahanakorn University of Technology (MUT), we’re not just preparing students for degrees — we’re preparing them to lead in a world defined by innovation, disruption, and opportunity.
As a Powered by ASU institution, MUT is reimagining what higher education in Thailand can be. Our students will experience a bold new model of learning that blends cutting-edge innovation, global perspective, and real-world relevance — all built on MUT’s legacy of academic excellence.
Through this collaboration, students will:
Learn through an ASU-enhanced curriculum that reflects the latest in technology, sustainability, and innovation
Gain additional certifications from ASU to validate global competencies and future-ready skills
Collaborate with international peers through Global Signature Courses and immersive learning opportunities
Participate in global innovation challenges, idea labs, and industry-connected projects
Access hybrid global experiences — both virtual and physical — that nurture adaptability, creativity, and confidence
That’s the experience students can expect at MUT
— and that’s the advantage they’ll carry into the world.
