As part of the development of strategic cooperation, a delegation from M. Auezov South Kazakhstan University visited Arizona State University (ASU, USA) from September 23 to 26, 2025. The visit program included presentations of M. Auezov SKU for ASU faculty members and students, as well as an introduction to ASU’s innovative infrastructure, including the Melikian Center, Global Launch, Dreamscape, and E-Sports Lounge.
During the visit, special attention was given to launching a joint Honors College, which is planned to be implemented at M. Auezov SKU with the support of Arizona State University. In addition, the parties discussed in detail the prospects for introducing joint dual-degree programs, including the development of curricula, a credit transfer system, and mechanisms for academic mobility of students.

The delegation also held meetings with the leadership of EdPlus, the Brand Team, and the ASU School of Engineering, where discussions focused on digital educational initiatives, online learning, and modern approaches to engineering education. Another important area of negotiations was strengthening cooperation with the Office of Global Academic Initiatives to further enhance the strategic partnership.

As a result of the visit, the parties agreed on a series of consistent steps to launch the Honors College, implement dual-degree programs, and expand academic exchange — opening new horizons for students and faculty members of both universities.
