The 2+2 International Computer Science Degree Program:

Specially designed for recent and soon-to-be graduates of Class 12ᵗʰ, here’s why this program is the smartest way to start your career in the U.S. without needing a Master’s —

Traditional engineering degrees often leave students unprepared for the fast-evolving tech landscape.


You want to be ready for the future with modern, practical skills, but most programs don’t provide the real-world expertise needed to excel in fields like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cybersecurity.


That’s why, for the first time in India, Shiv Nadar University and Arizona State University have partnered to offer a one-of-a-kind international 2+2 dual-degree program in Computer Science.


This transformative journey starts with 2 years at Shiv Nadar University in India, where you’ll build a strong academic foundation.


Then, you’ll transfer to Arizona State University in the U.S., immersing yourself in hands-on learning and advanced knowledge at the heart of AI innovation.


Through this program, you’ll gain global skills, deep expertise, and practical experience that will set you apart in the tech world.


Whether it’s tackling complex challenges or driving technological advancements, you’ll graduate ready to launch your career in the U.S.


With a focus on real-world applications and unmatched industry exposure, you’ll be prepared to excel in top tech roles from day one.


And the best part? By starting the first two years in India, you save nearly 40% on fees compared to pursuing a full-time bachelor’s degree entirely in the U.S. Plus, you achieve the same outcome—an exceptional career in the U.S.—in half the time, without needing a Master’s degree later.


To make this opportunity even more accessible, the program provides collateral- and cosigner-free loans that cover both tuition and living expenses, requiring only a small upfront fee.


However, here’s what you should know - This program is highly selective.


By limiting enrolment to only 25 students from India, it ensures that each participant benefits from focused mentorship, individualised support, and unparalleled access to global opportunities.


This exclusivity is what makes the program truly transformative, offering an environment where exceptional talent thrives.


If you want to be considered, be sure to submit your application before 31ˢᵗ January, 2025.
