About Stevens
China
Programs
|
|
Stevens offers one
of the most highly
acclaimed programs
of any international
graduate school in
China. Honored by
the Sloan Foundation
and reported widely
in IEEE Spectrum
and the
Chronicle of Higher
Education, among
other publications,
more than 130
students are now
enrolled or have
earned their masters
degrees from three
programs in Beijing
at two prestigious
universities—Beijing
Institute of
Technology and
Central University
of Finance and
Economics.
Agreements have also
been concluded with
two other top-ranked
schools—Shanghai
Jiao Tong University
and Beijing
University of Posts
and
Telecommunications.
Stevens Institute of
Technology, in
collaboration with
several notable
Chinese schools of
higher education,
has initiated a
number
of significant
masters and
corporate training
programs in China.
One-third of the
courses in these
programs are
delivered online by
Stevens' faculty.
Another third are
taught in
conventional
classrooms in China
by Stevens' faculty,
and the final third
are delivered
face-to-face in
China by faculty
from partner
institutions. All
courses are
delivered in
English. Degrees
earned by students
in China are exactly
the same as those
awarded by Stevens
to students in the
U.S. Current
programs have been
approved and
accredited by the
Chinese Ministry of
Education.

Beijing Institute of
Technology |
|
Stevens' first
graduate programs in
China were launched
three years ago with
two masters
degrees--one
in Telecommunications
Management and
another in
Photonics
and
Microelectronics. All
students who entered
the telecommunications
program
graduated successfully
in 2005 and are now
working at top
international and
Chinese high-tech
companies. A second
cohort graduated
this January. |
Central University
of Finance and
Economics
 |
|
A masters program in
Project Management, delivered to 30
employees of the
China Development
Bank, concluded with
the spring semester
of 2007.
It was one of the few
programs in
China offered by a
US university to
employees of a
Chinese company.
Students attended
graduation ceremonies on the
Hoboken campus in
May 2007. A new
cohort started fall
2007. |
Shanghai Jiao Tong
University |
|
Two programs--one in
Telecommunications
Management and
another in
Information
Technology--are
waiting for approval
from the Chinese
Ministry of
Education. Degrees
awarded and delivery
modes will follow
the same pattern as
those at Beijing
Institute of
Technology and
Central University
of Finance and
Economics. |
Beijing University
of Posts and
Telecommunications |
|
A Memorandum of
Understanding has
been concluded.
Chances are likely
that masters degrees
from Stevens will be
awarded to
students late in
2008. |
Amway US and China |
|
In a unique partnership to build a cadre of global leaders, Stevens Institute for Technical
Leadership and Amway, the $7 billion worldwide direct-selling company, are collaborating on
providing key Amway personnel with twenty-first century leadership skills. Instructor-led online
modules are delivered over 18 months to Amway employees in the US and China by Stevens' faculty.
Before entering online classrooms—where they are divided into virtual leadership teams—Amway participants
complete a series of web-based assessment tools to provide insight into how their personalities and behavior
align with the company’s goals and their own development. Employees then engage in online modules, starting
with how to build self-awareness, followed by how to lead innovation and change,Amway personnel learn about
decision-making, coaching and mentoring, and strategic leadership. Along the way, Stevens’ faculty coach participants
to embrace a path to leadership at Amway. |

perspective on

relationships
between headquarters

Leadership
Certificate and an
