She is currently attending Colorado State University working on her master\'s degree in biology. Such international dual degree programs are becoming a \'ticket to ensure one\'s future\' to easily find employment at the large companies and to enrich their future. Yeungnam University, which began international dual degree programs since the second semester of 2002 with Michigan Technology University, Washington State University, and INSA of France, has further enlarged its partnerships with St. John\'s University, Iowa State University, and Liaoning University and Beihua University in China. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_07748147146190816 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-10-13_10-15-11_495.jpg\" target=_blank> INSA of France is operating a dual degree program for graduate school students, and a \'3+2 bachelor\'s & master\'s program\' for students studying commerce and economics is available at St. John\'s University. The \'3+2 bachelor\'s & master\'s program\' allows students to complete a 3 year course at the Yeungnam University College of Commerce & Economics and then a 2 year master\'s degree course in accounting at St. John\'s University to acquire a bachelors at Yeungnam University and a master\'s degree in accounting at St. John\'s University. By doing so, students also become qualified to apply for AICPA tests. Furthermore, Yeungnam University College of Natural Resources is operating the international dual degree program with Iowa State University since the first semester of 2005. With the Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences a \'3+1 joint degree program\' and with the Iowa State University Department of Design and Landscape Architecture Department a \'2.5 + 2.5 joint degree program\' is being operated. <Photo> Currently, a total of 26 students from Yeungnam University has been sent abroad for the international dual degree program. While they are abroad, they receive scholarships for tuition at Yeungnam University, as well as that for the tuition and registration fees at the respective universities. Cho, Hyeon-dae (27, School of Business), who is in his last semester at St. John\'s University since attending there in the second semester of 2008, said, \"I didn\'t have to worry about tuition since I received a full scholarship while studying in the US, and on top of that, I was able to receive my master\'s degree a year ahead of everyone else. Since I\'ve received the best opportunity, I will do my best to receive global recognition in the accounting field.\" Joo, Sang-woo (51, School of Mechanical Engineering), vice-president of International Programs, stated, \"The fact that students can invest the same amount of time with others and receive a degree at both Yeungnam University and prominent schools abroad results in reduced opportunity costs, and it will also calculate into enhancing their international competitiveness.\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_009973001485206978 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-10-13_10-15-38_495.jpg\" target=_blank> From next year, an international dual degree program is also being planned with the University of Cergy-Pontoise of France. The University of Cergy-Pontoise is a public university of France established in 1991, and currently has 29,000 students enrolled in 150 different majors, and is also conducting interchange with 150 schools all around the world. It signed a general exchange agreement with Yeungnam University in 2004, and has been conducting student exchange programs since 2006. <Photo: International Dual Degree Program Signing Ceremony> For universities in China, over 50 students have been or are in their dual degree course at Yeungnam University since 2005. Yeungnam University is also operating a dual degree program for international students from Chinese universities. This is because with the increase of exchange between Korea and China, as well as the Hallyu wave, there has been a growth in Chinese students wishing to receive a degree at Korean universities. Thus, Yeungnam University agreed on a dual degree program with Beihua University and Huazhong University of Education of China in September 2004 and July 2006, respectively. Since 2005, over 50 Chinese students came to Yeungnam University and currently, over 30 student are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate school programs of Yeungnam University.

\"Get a Scholarship from the Korean Government!\"

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> 4 Chinese International Students Selected for Government Scholarships Korean Fulbright Offers 1 Year \'GKS Scholarship\' [May 6, 2010] International students at Yeungnam University were selected for the \'2010 GKS Outstanding International Student Scholarship (hereinafter referred to as GKS Scholarship)\' recently announced by the government. ‘GKS’ (Global Korea Scholarship) integrated existing scholarship programs for domestic and foreign students by the National Institute for International Education, which is under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The \'Outstanding International Student Scholarship\' program, which is part of this scholarship program, offers government scholarships by selecting outstanding international students who came to Korea paying their own way. It is basically the \'Korean Fulbright Scholarship Program\'. Candidates for the \'GKS Scholarship\' in the past February are undergraduates who placed level 4 in TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) with a GPA of 3.0 (out of 4.5) or higher. Its goal is to offer government scholarships to students who are good at Korean and have outstanding grades in order to enhance the national image. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_08699797464914925 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-09-27_15-38-25_495.jpg\" target=_blank> Chinese Students who received GKS scholarships (left to right: Fei Chengji, Qui Min, Jia Yushan, Wang Chunqing) At Yeungnam University, 4 Chinese international students applied for the scholarship. They are Wang Chungqing (王純淸, 21, Senior in Economics and Finance), Jia Yushan (賈玉刪, 24, Senior in International Economics and Business), Qui Min (邱敏, 23, Senior in Chinese Language and Culture), and Fei Chengji (裵丞姬, 23, Senior in Sociology), and they all received the scholarship for a 100% success rate. Thus, these four students will receive a monthly 500 thousand won scholarship per person for one year from the Korean government. Fei Chengji, who is from Heilongjiang, stated, \"I am very happy that I could take a load off of my parents, who have been working here in Korea to pay for my tuition. I am very grateful to Korea.\" Their future goals are all the same. They all wish to act as a bridge for developing friendly relations between Korea and China. For this, Fei Chengji is planning to go on to graduate school and become a professional translator/interpreter, and the other three hope to work in the trade business between Korea and China. Park, Gi-dong, director of the International Service Team of Yeungnam University, stated, \"We not only provide Korean language education to foreigners hoping to study in Korea, but also offer free Korean language courses every day for 2 hours fitting to their skill level to foreigners studying in our undergraduate and graduate schools. In addition, we offer support for taking the TOPIK, while also providing the Buddy Program to help foreign students adapt to school and life here in Korean by teaming them up with Korean students.\" He added, \"Just as the US did in the past, the more outstanding international students that receive scholarships from our country\'s government, the higher our international prestige will rise.\" Meanwhile, Yeungnam University admitted a total of 1,100 international students this semester. This is an increase of three folds compared to the same period five years ago (at 348 students), and it shows evidence of how quickly the school is becoming globalized. Also, the fact that international students are coming in from all over the world in 29 countries such as Germany, Russia, Macedonia, Turkey, Poland, France, Dominican Republic, USA, Canada, Brazil, Peru, Rwanda, Senegal and Kenya, proves that inbound globalization, which is the goal of making the campus a global village, is successfully underway.
