International Partnerships
Fort Hays State University encourages and supports the development and delivery of programs abroad under partnerships with other universities, colleges, governmental agencies and special organizations. These are increasingly important in defining the university’s mission as a “regional university with a global outlook” and its brand of “forward thinking, world ready.”
Fort Hays State University has the first American university to be approved by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China to offer dual bachelor’s degrees under the framework of the Sino-Foreign University of Cooperation in Running Schools. In Fall, 2000, FHSU began offering courses in mainland China to 40 students and made a strategic decision to double the number of students each year. Fall,2009, FHSU is serving 3,200 students at Sias International University and Shenyang Normal University with courses leading to Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership, Bachelor of Science in Information, Networking and Telecommunications and Bachelor of Arts in Political Science.
FHSU develops two types of international partnerships:(1) Cross Border Partnerships where students receive FHSU courses and credit without leaving their home country; (2) Study Abroad Partnerships where students travel to the U.S. to study at FHSU or FHSU’s students travel abroad to continue their program of student and transfer credit to FHSU.
For information about establishing win-win relationships for cross border dual degree offerings or for study abroad, contact Cindy Elliott, Assistant Provost for Strategic Partnerships, or Mary Meier, Administrative Assistant, in the Office of Strategic Partnerships.
