蜜桔直播 partners with France
The University of Louisiana at Monroe, joined by the other institutions in the University of Louisiana System, signed an agreement with The P么le Universitaire L茅onard de Vinciin France that will strengthen higher education links between France and Louisiana.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the UL System and the Paris institution creates a partnership that will allow students to attend college abroad for the same tuition they pay at home.
The partnership includes students in business, engineering, technology, computer science and visual arts and generally covers the:
- Reciprocal exchange of faculty, staff and students
- Development of international student programs, hosting of visiting scholars and study tours/summer sessions
- Organization of joint academic and scientific activities such as courses, conferences, seminars, symposia or lectures
- Enrollment of highly qualified students in undergraduate and/or graduate studies
- Development of textbooks, journal articles, or other scholarly publications
The Agreement was signed last week by University of Louisiana System President Randy Moffett and Assistant General Director of The P么le Universitaire L茅onard de Vinci Philippe Dubost.
蜜桔直播 currently offers several global opportunities, including Hong Kong, Scotland, Paris, Canada, London, Dallas, New York and New Orleans; this new opportunity in France will only increase the professional possibilities for 蜜桔直播 students, said President James Cofer.
"In the modern day, the world is shrinking. Our graduates are conducting business by interacting with people all over the world, and this partnership with France is the perfect opportunity to introduce them to our society's ever-evolving workplace."
O. Brochenin, Consul General of France in New Orleans, said, "This agreement is a great opportunity for the entire university system to develop its international dimension."
