NYIT News: New York Institute of Technology Opens American-Style University in China
Some might call it a true great leap forward in higher education. In a move destined to establish a precedent for educating some of China’s best students, New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) has collaborated with Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (NUPT) to open an American-style undergraduate school in mainland China.
The Jiangsu provincial government in China was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the collaboration, ushering in a new era in higher education—one aimed at spawning a new breed of graduate equipped to handle the challenges of the world’s fastest-growing economy. The ministry of education financed and is completing an expansive ultramodern campus for NUPT, an elite Chinese scientific institute, and has dedicated a separate, contiguous complex to NYIT, where it will initially offer four academic degree programs and grow enrollment to 6,000 students.
