China Cooperative Academic Programs

Welcome to the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University. The mission of our China program is to provide students with a rigorous understanding of economic and finance literacy, develop future leaders in business, and promote global vision by expanding Utah State University’s educational opportunities across international borders.

International Studies

The Department of Economics and Finance has approximately 900 Chinese students working on a USU economics degree at two different institutions in mainland China: Beijing Institute of Technology and Northeast Electric Power University in Jilin City.

Relevant Skills

The degree's focus is on fundamental micro and macroeconomics training, managerial and leadership skills, and navigation of the global economy through focused training in the areas of international economics and trade.

Travel Opportunities

Many students in this program transfer to Logan and add vitality to the USU Logan campus. Further, this program continues to provide the opportunity for Chinese visiting scholars to spend time in Logan and for USU faculty to visit and teach in China.

Face-to-face Interaction

Courses are delivered mainly through face-to-face instruction, led by a professor from USU and a local instructor. The USU lead professor is in charge of course content and teaching methods. The local instructor, who is affiliated with partner institutions, facilitates learning by delivering the course content in person. This approach strengthens the academic interaction between lead professors and local instructors and fulfills the Chinese Ministry of Education's requirement for face-to-face instruction. The language used for teaching is English.
