CEHD Signs Partnership with Beijing Language and Culture University

CEHD recently formalized a partnership agreement with Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) to open opportunities for students to study at George Mason University.

Mark R. Ginsberg, dean of the College of Education and Human Development at Mason, met with BLCU officials in Beijing to sign the important agreement.

BLCU is one of the leading universities in China focused on language learning, literacy, and associated areas. The agreement provides opportunities for BLCU students to study at Mason to earn a master’s degree while also completing some of their required courses in Beijing. Several of the university's doctoral students are at Mason this year as visiting scholars.

The agreement also opens up opportunities for George Mason students to study at the Beijing Language and Culture University and for faculty exchanges and research collaborations.
