The China Initiatives
The China initiatives is created to establish, grow and strengthen partnering relationships and engagement with Chinese universities and institutions among faculty/staff and student on international exchange, collaborative research, academic collaboration on degree and/or non-degree programs.
The Office of China Affairs can provide advisory services to the University community on their on-going or potential partnership or business dealings with Chinese higher education institutions, business, government, and other organizations.

The primary focus of the China Initiatives is to:
- Identify strategic China partners with whom KSU academic units can build collaborative relations
- Lead and facilitate steps that lead to the establishment of new collaborations
- Maintain and keep existing programs with China
- Guide and support KSU faculty and students teach in China at our partner universities
- Support Chinese students coming through the dual or joint degree programs and/or non-degree programs, and exchange programs of our Chinese partners.
To establish partnership with China, it is common that Chinese partners will first ask for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which serves as general intention of collaboration of “framework agreement� laying out the broad areas and mechanisms for cooperation. Later, as cooperation deepens, this MOU is followed by a more focused MOU in name of Addendum to this MOU to govern more specific programs, for example, 2+2 undergraduate degree program in nursing.
