Florida colleges setting up campuses in China – Noah Bierman

From the Miami Herald:

In a busy corner of Beijing, three Chinese University of Florida employees have been setting up an office, preparing to award forensic science degrees to Chinese students within a few years.

But the UF students who earn the degrees may never see a Gainesville swamp or know the joy of a slice of Leonardo’s pizza.

Seventy miles away from Beijing, Chinese government workers are building the 20th floor of a tower that will house a hospitality campus for Florida International University, with classes taught in English by FIU-trained professors.
