CU signs exchange agreement with Beijing University Click on headline for story w/photo(s) By Christina L. Kern News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University and Beijing University of Agriculture (BUA) have signed an exchange agreement allowing students from BUA to earn a degree at CU. The signing ceremony was held May 29, 2012, with four representatives present from BUA. Additionally, BUA and CU have agreed to accept each other's undergraduate students for summer exchange studies, according to Dr. Keith Spears, vice president for regional and professional education who has coordinated the exchange. Three BUA students will attend courses at CU this year, and six CU students will study at BUA, according to Chris Sanders, assistant dean for the Center for International Education. In addition, Dr. Shawn Williams, CU assistant professor of political science, will teach a history course at BUA. The cooperation will allow students from BUA to "gain three degrees from three continents in a five-year period," Spears said. Students fully accepted at BUA study business in China for the first three years, then study their fourth year at Harper-Adams College in Great Britain, where students will receive baccalaureate degrees from both schools. Upon completion, they will be accepted to CU for the master of business administration program or the master of arts in organizational leadership program at CU's Louisville Education Center. The students then complete six eight-week terms for one year to complete the requirements for a master's degree from CU. CU's Porter-Bouvette School of Business and Economics is also working with BUA's School of International Studies to develop the overall business curriculum to match the undergraduate program at CU, providing the appropriate courses for entrance into master's degree programs at CU. "There are over 300 international students represented at CU," Dr. Frank Cheatham, vice president for academic affairs, said at the signing ceremony. "A number of these students are from China." Cheatham said he hopes CU will send many students to BUA as well. "Some students don't realize the value of studying in a different country." Cheatham said he "looks forward to a long friendship." Du Xiaolin, professor and vice president of BUA, said usually he speaks Chinese and has someone translate, but at Campbellsville he "feels at home" so he would speak English. Xiaolin said he hoped the future would hold "more and more student exchanges," and he thanked everyone for their work in teaching the students. For more information on the exchange program, contact the Center for International Education at (270) 789-5051 or Campbellsville University's Louisville Education Center at (502) 753-0264. - Christina L.
