Autonomy
A December 2025 council resolution expressly refers to undergraduate programs opened under the university’s own authority, while distinguishing a talented-engineer program submitted to MOET. This supports a specific historical exercise of academic autonomy, not blanket 2026 international-program self-approval or full financial autonomy. Official university resolution.

US university diligence
Confirm the contracting legal entity and teaching site, the specific program approval, award issuer, credit recognition, current accreditation scope, student-protection arrangements and delivery capacity before treating this as a viable partner. This is an editorial diligence prompt, not a finding of a defect.
For general information only, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with qualified counsel and the relevant Vietnamese authorities before acting.
