China Degree Program
Utah State University, in conjunction with the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business and the Department of Economics, currently offers a Bachelor of Science degree in economics with a managerial emphasis at two sites in China and one site in Hong Kong. Because of the targeted interest of our Chinese students and partner institutions, the programmatic structure of courses within the degree program focus on building managerial and leadership skills and enhancing student's competency in navigating the global economy through focused training in the areas of international economics and trade. Throughout the program of study, students are exposed to specialized training in various fields of business to provide a greater understanding of the free enterprise system in a global context. The program of study is outlined in the attached appendix.
Courses are primarily delivered using a "face-to-face" lead professor/ local instructor model. USU faculty are assigned as lead professors and are responsible for course content and instructional pedagogy. Class format and content is organized and disseminated to students using local instructors who are affiliated with our partner institutions. Local instructors are responsible for learning facilitation through on-site face-to-face delivery of course content. This delivery model enhances the breadth of academic engagement between lead professors and local instructors and meets the Chinese Ministry of Education requirement that the primary model of instruction be through face-to-face contact between students and instructors. The language of instruction for all courses is English.
The Bachelor of Science degree program is currently available at the following partner institutions:
- Northeast Dianli University (previously Northeast China Institute of Electric Power Engineering) in Jilin City, Changchun Province.
- Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing Campus.
- Institute for Advanced Learning, Hong Kong.
