Abstract
This study explored the relationship between acculturation level and vocati onal identity among 112 graduate and undergraduate Taiwanese international students attending two midwestern universities. The results revealed that T aiwanese international students who were older and who had a shorter length of U.S. residency were more likely to identify themselves as Asian. The re sults also indicated that Taiwanese international students who were older a nd who had a lower acculturation level had higher vocational identity.
