International Collaboration of WKU CBPM - UIUC GIES Graduate Programs

International Collaboration of WKU CBPM - UIUC GIES Graduate Program 

"Exclusive Opportunities for Kean University (Wenzhou) Students for UIUC GIES Business School's Graduate Programs"

Background:

At Kean University, spanning both the New Jersey and Wenzhou campuses, we pride ourselves on fostering collaborative initiatives with top-ranked business schools globally to facilitate premier business education for our students.

In line with this endeavor, we have joined forces with the highly reputed UIUC Gies School of Business, aiming to provide our students with unparalleled access to some of the finest graduate programs worldwide.

Since January 2022, the UIUC has generously extended exclusive opportunities to prospective Kean University applicants, including a waiver for TOEFL/IELTS requirements and a simplified application process facilitated through Dr. Jerry Choi, a distinguished alumnus of UIUC.

We sincerely hope this event will be a nurturing platform, especially for our senior students contemplating advancing their studies in graduate school.

1. NO TOEFL / NO IELTS necessary

2. Expedited and Simple application (a short recommendation remark or List of WKU students from Dr. Jerry Choi - an UIUC Alum - is OK)
